Content of course
The PADI Junior Scuba Diver course offers a good introduction to diving, especially for children aged 10 and over. The license only allows dives under the professional supervision of a diving instructor and divemaster and only to a depth of 12 meters.
In principle, the PADI JUNIOR SCUBA DIVER course contains about half of the PADI Open Water training. The course is intended for holidaymakers who do not have enough time for the full Open Water course or who want to start slowly. Those who complete the PADI JUNIOR SCUBA DIVER course are restricted to diving to a maximum depth of 12m and only at diving centers under professional supervision, i.e. with a divemaster or an instructor.
But you have 12 months to complete the remaining parts of the course to become an Open Water Diver. The PADI Junior Scuba Diver is valid for diving under supervision for life, but the recognition for the upgrade to OWD is only valid for 12 months. The upgrade must be completed within this period at our dive center or at any other PADI dive center worldwide.
The PADI Junior Scuba Diver course consists of two parts.
1. E-learning theory
First, you will study the entire diving theory in an online PADI e-learning course at home before the start of your vacation and also take your exam online. You will receive the complete Open Water Diver theory, but for the Scuba Diver you only have to work through the first 3 chapters of 5. However, for your later upgrade you already have the complete OWD e-learning package available.
The PADI Open Water Diver e-learning App is available for Apple and Android tablets as well as for PC. The app works also on a mobile phone however, we strongly advise against completing the e-learning course on the small display of a mobile phone.
The App will also be functioning OFFLINE, you'll need internet access only for the download of the app and for transmitting your exam results upon successful completion of the theory. In case you have questions during your studies, our instructors will be happy to answer by email. For technical questions about the app we will send you the contact data of the PADI customer service along with your download code of the app.
The e-learning course includes:
- 5 interactive modules of scuba theory (you need to study module 1 - 3 for the Scuba Diver)
- Texts, images, videos
- Knowledge reviews and quizzes
- Final exam online (not necessary to pass until your upgrade to Open Water)
- PADI license fee is included in your theory app.
2. Practical part
After passing the theory you will participate in the practical part here in Tenerife. In only two days you will practise your skills in diving.
The practical course includes:
- Equipment skills at the dive centre
- Pool skills in the heated pool of the hotel PRECISE RESORT PUERTO DE LA CRUZ****
- 2 dives in the open sea from the beach
- Complete scuba rental equipment for all course parts
- Logbook for your diving experience
- Scuba Diver Insurance by Aqua-Med during your course
- Transportation to/from divesites
Duration of the course
For the online theory you may take as much time as you like. To have enough time for your studies, please sign in for the course online at least a week before your vacation.
For the practical course you should reserve at least 2 complete successive days. If you are having problems the course may last longer. Courses start on Wednesday and will finish usually on Thursday. The daily schedule is 8:50am until 3:00pm.
Duration of the course
Minimum 2 complete days. Courses start Wednesdays.
Costs of the course
The price of the PADI Open Water e-learning App is 170 € per participant! The online e-learning software can't be shared with other participants as your download code is connected to your license code and your quizzes and exams. You have lifetime access to your e-learning materials which allows you to fresh up your knowledge anytime later when needed.
The PADI license fee of 60 € for your PADI Open Water Diver e-card is already included in the price for the app.
The price for this practical part is 280 €.
The JUNIOR SCUBA DIVER training is a little more expensive than the Scuba Diver training. This is because we only have small groups or even individual supervision for the very young participants. The children should not be overwhelmed and should be looked after optimally. We put safety first.
