This beginner-level diving certification gives you the skills and confidence to dive safely while exploring some of Indonesia’s most famous marine environments. The course is split between theory, confined water skills, and four open water dives to build your experience step by step. Key Details Course duration: 4 days (2–3 days with e-Learning) Number of dives: 4 ocean dives Minimum age: 10 years Group size: Small groups with personal instruction Location: Based at the Manado dive centre Key Skills Complete independent equipment setup Master buoyancy and underwater control Learn safety checks and emergency procedures Dive planning and buddy systems Certification to 18m depth worldwide What to Expect Your course begins with theory sessions that cover essential diving knowledge such as pressure, safety, and underwater communication. You can either complete this section in person with your instructor or take advantage of PADI e-Learning before your arrival to save time on-site. This is followed by confined water training in a 4-metre deep dive pool at the Manado facility, where you'll learn and practise basic scuba skills in a safe, controlled environment. Once you’re comfortable in the pool, you’ll head out for four open water dives at local reefs. These dives gradually introduce more responsibility and independence while giving you a real taste of what diving in North Sulawesi has to offer. Throughout the course, instructors keep things paced to suit your comfort level, and full dive equipment (including a computer and deluxe logbook) is included for all participants.
