Questions
Getting certified in Komodo.
Swimming, age limits, eLearning and which specialty to take first.
Do I need to be a strong swimmer?
You need to swim 200 m without stopping, any stroke and with no time limit, and float for 10 minutes. That is all.
What is the minimum age?
Ten years old for the Open Water course, which earns the Junior Open Water Diver certification. Juniors aged 10 and 11 dive with a certified parent or PADI pro and stay within 12 m.
Can I fail the Open Water course?
No. It is competency-based: you practise each skill until you are comfortable, and extra pool sessions are free if you need them.
Should I do the eLearning before I arrive?
Yes, we recommend it. Your PADI eLearning code arrives by email once your deposit clears, and it takes about 8 hours on a phone or laptop.
Which specialty should I take first?
Peak Performance Buoyancy or Enriched Air Nitrox. Both take one day and pay off on every dive for the rest of your trip. Popular pairings are Nitrox with Buoyancy, Deep with Nitrox, Drift with Buoyancy, and Emergency First Response with Rescue.
Is my certification recognised everywhere?
Yes. PADI certifications are accepted at dive centers all over the world, and they never expire.
