Course overview

The PADI Scuba Diver certification is a shorter, faster path to diving in Bali, qualifying you to dive to 12m under a professional's supervision. Training takes place in Tulamben's calm bay, where you practise skills before exploring the coral and reef fish near the USAT Liberty. It is ideal if you are short on holiday time but want a real certification you can upgrade to Open Water later.
