What’s Included in Your PADI Course

The essentials are prepared so your training feels clear from the start.

What is included depends on the course, but usually includes:

  • Diving equipment.
  • PADI Instructor guidance.
  • PADI eLearning when required.
  • Water, tea, coffee and hot chocolate.
  • Snacks on board when applicable.
  • Towels.

Dive insurance is not included, so please make sure you have suitable cover before starting your course.

PADI eLearning Before You Get in the Water

For many PADI courses, the theory starts online before the practical training.

When PADI eLearning applies to your course, Trek Divers includes it as part of the course and signs you up after your booking is confirmed. This helps you understand the basics before the practical training starts, so your time in the water feels clearer and easier to follow.

You can study at your own pace, then continue with your instructor when it is time to practise the skills.

Before We Confirm Your PADI Course

A simple booking process, with one important note about PADI eLearning.

For PADI courses, we do not usually ask for a deposit. Guests normally pay after their dives or at the end of their diving holiday. The main exception is PADI eLearning. When eLearning is needed for your course, Trek Divers signs you up after your booking is confirmed.

Once PADI eLearning has been assigned, its cost is non refundable. You can still use it later to complete the course with Trek Divers or with another PADI Dive Centre. If you or Trek Divers need to cancel before the course starts and before eLearning has been assigned, nothing is due. If sea conditions affect the open water part of your course, we’ll explain the options and adjust the plan when possible

Learn with a Local PADI Dive Team in La Digue

A PADI course feels better when you can ask questions, take your time and understand each step.

Learning to dive is not only about completing the course requirements. It also depends on the people teaching you, how they explain things and how comfortable you feel before getting in the water. At Trek Divers, you learn with a PADI team based in La Digue, used to working with different levels of confidence, experience and nerves.

Some students arrive excited. Some arrive unsure. Some already dive, but want to feel more confident before moving forward. That is normal. Meet the people who will help you learn, practise and enjoy the process.

What Other Divers Say About Trek Divers

Do You Have Questions About Your PADI Course in La Digue?

If sea conditions are not suitable, we will adjust the plan or cancel the dive if needed.

Safety comes first. If we need to cancel because conditions are not suitable, nothing is due.

Maybe. It depends on the course, your current level and how much time you have available.

Some PADI courses need more time than others, so it is better to contact us before your trip if your dates are tight.

In some cases, yes.

Send us what you have already completed, including your PADI eLearning or training record, and we’ll let you know what can be continued with Trek Divers.

Your instructor will guide you through the training, but certification depends on completing the required skills, theory and dives.

If you need more time, we’ll explain what your options are and what would be needed to continue.

Yes. Open water training always depends on safety.

If the sea is not suitable, we may need to adjust the plan so the course can continue in the right way.

Bring swimwear, what you need for the day and proof of any existing certification if you are taking a continuing education course.

If anything specific is needed, we’ll tell you before you start.

You do not need to be an athlete, but you do need to be comfortable in the water and able to swim for beginner certification courses.

If you are unsure, tell us before booking so we can guide you properly.

That is normal.

Tell us before you start, so your instructor understands how you feel and can guide you at the right pace.

No. Some PADI courses are for beginners, while others are for certified divers who want to build more experience, improve confidence or take a professional step.

That is why it helps to choose according to where you are now as a diver.

It depends on your current certification, experience and confidence level.

Tell us when you last dived and what course you are considering, and we’ll help you understand whether it makes sense to continue training or refresh your skills first.

You should not fly straight after diving.

As a general rule, leave at least 18 hours after multiple dives or several days of diving. If you can, allow 24 hours before flying.

Tell us your flight time before planning your course, so we can check if the schedule makes sense.

Looking for a Different PADI Experience in La Digue?

Focus on a Specific Diving Skill
