How to Earn your Scuba Diving Certification

Learn about scuba diving principles and terminology (either in-person or online), then learn basic scuba skills in a pool (or pool-like environment) with a highly trained Nemo Instructor. When you’re ready, make four dives in an open water environment (the ocean, a lake) with your instructor supporting you every step of the way.

What you need to know

  • Digital PADI manuals and knowledge reviews for all three courses
  • Confined‑water pool sessions at Nemo Diving Center
  • Nine open‑water dives at Dubai and East‑Coast dive sites
  • Full scuba equipment hire – wetsuit, BCD, regulator, tanks, weights, mask, fins, and snorkel
  • Nitrox tank fills (32% or 36% oxygen) for the Nitrox dives
  • Logbook and PADI certification fees for Open Water, Advanced, and Nitrox courses
  • Drinking water, light snacks, and refreshments on diving days
  • Free Wi‑Fi and changing facilities at Nemo Diving Center
  • Swimwear, rashguard, and towel
  • Personal items and toiletries
  • Sunscreen and a hat for boat dives
  • Transportation to and from Nemo Diving Center (hotel transfers can be arranged for an extra fee)
  • Underwater photography/videography – you may bring your own camera or rent one from us

PADI Open Water Course

You’ll begin with the fundamentals. Our instructors will teach you how to set up and use scuba equipment, control your buoyancy, communicate underwater, plan safe dives, and respond to common problems. Theory sessions cover dive science, pressure effects, equalisation, and decompression basics. Confined‑water sessions allow you to practise in a controlled environment before moving on to four open‑water dives where you’ll demonstrate your skills in real‑world conditions.

PADI Advanced Open Water Course

After achieving the Open Water certification, you’ll immediately broaden your skills. The Advanced course focuses on refining your buoyancy and navigation and introduces you to new environments. You’ll complete five adventure dives, two of which are mandatory – Deep (to 30 m) and Underwater Navigation – and choose three elective dives such as Wreck Diving, Night Diving, Peak Performance Buoyancy, Search & Recovery, or Underwater Photography. Each dive has a specific objective, and an instructor will help you develop the techniques you need to dive safely at greater depths or in challenging conditions.

PADI Enriched‑Air Nitrox Course

The final part of this combo teaches you to dive using air with a higher percentage of oxygen (typically 32% or 36%). You’ll learn how enriched air reduces nitrogen uptake, allowing for longer no‑decompression limits and shorter surface intervals. The course covers analysing gas mixtures, setting your dive computer, calculating maximum depths, and planning nitrox dives. Two nitrox dives give you hands‑on experience using the procedures you’ve learned.

To join this combo, you must:

  1. Be at least 12 years old. Divers under 18 need a parent or guardian to sign the paperwork.
  2. Be comfortable in the water. You should be able to float or tread water for 10 minutes and swim 200 metres without stopping.
  3. Complete a medical questionnaire. Certain health conditions require a doctor’s approval. Please check our form in advance or contact us if you have any questions.
  4. Have no prior diving certification. This package is ideal for beginners; however, if you already hold an Open Water certification, we can customise the schedule to focus on the Advanced and Nitrox elements.
  • Complete scuba kit – tanks, weights, BCDs, regulators, wetsuits and dive computers.
  • Training aids (buoyancy devices, compass, dive slate).
  • Oxygen analyzer for nitrox training.
  • E‑Learning materials and manuals.

You should bring

  • Personal mask, snorkel and fins.
  • Dive torch for night or limited‑visibility electives.
  • Waterproof bag, hydration, snacks and sun protection.
  • Action camera (optional) to record your dives.
  • Notebook or tablet for taking notes.
  1. Pre‑course – e‑Learning: Use the provided redeem code to access the Open Water Manual or Touch and complete the first three chapters; then complete the Advanced and Nitrox theory modules.
  2. Days 1–3 – Open Water course: Attend five confined‑water dives to practise basic skills, followed by four open‑water dives in the sea. Demonstrate buoyancy control, regulator recovery, mask clearing and navigation to earn your Open Water certification.
  3. Days 4–5 – Advanced course: Complete the Deep Dive and Underwater Navigation plus three elective dives (e.g., Wreck, Night, Peak Performance Buoyancy). Learn advanced techniques such as kick‑cycle navigation, using visual landmarks and time, and improved buoyancy.
  4. Day 6 – Nitrox course: Study enriched‑air theory, learn to analyze oxygen percentage, set your dive computer for nitrox and complete dives using 22–40 % oxygen blends.
  5. Day 7 – Fujairah adventure trip: Join a boat trip to Fujairah; apply your new skills on colourful reefs and encounter diverse marine life. Celebrate the completion of all courses and receive your certifications.
  • Daily sessions: at 9 AM, 12 PM and 3 PM, each lasting 2–3 hours.
  • Adventure dives and Fujairah trip: arranged based on participant availability; typically full‑day outings.
  • Participants must be able to swim and medically fit for diving.
  • Minimum age is 10 years for the Open Water course; advanced and nitrox components require participants to be 12 years or older.
  • Complete all required e‑Learning modules before each practical session.
  • Course duration may vary between 4–7 days, depending on student progress; dives can be scheduled flexibly within 6 months.
  • Respect marine life and follow instructor guidelines at all times; safety is paramount.
