The PADI Boat Diver programe makes diving easy – just take one giant step off the back and you’re in the water! To start the programe you will need at least your PADI Open Water Diver (Junior Open Water Diver or equivalent) certification and be at least 10 years old. At Simply Diving we can provide the training for this course from many of our sites along the Costa del Sol coast, Spain.

During the Boat Diver program you will go on two open water dives, which must be – you got it – conducted from a boat. (Both dives may be conducted in one day.) It’s a good idea, but not required, that you enrol in this programe to learn the techniques and procedures for diving from different types of boats (inflatable boats, hard-hulled day boats, cabin cruisers, live-aboards, sailboats, etc.) That’s a good thing – the more boats you dive from, the more diving you do!
