Scuba Diver is Open Water Diver cut in half. You get a certification recognised worldwide, with one restriction: you dive only in the company of a divemaster or instructor, to 12 metres.
When it makes sense
When you are short on time and your holiday is three weeks away. When you are not sure diving will stay with you. When you always dive with a centre anyway, rather than on your own.
When it does not
When you want to dive with a buddy, unsupervised. Then take Open Water Diver straight away — the difference is two extra sessions and twelve hundred zloty, and the certification lasts a lifetime.
Scuba Diver can be upgraded to Open Water Diver at any time by paying the difference.
