Skin Diver
The PADI Snorkeling / Skin Diver Course
Learn to snorkel!
Explore the underwater world from the surface.
The PADI Skin Diver certification helps you get - and keep - your fins wet. While snorkeling is limited to peering down from the surface, skin divers generally venture further than snorkelers, making frequent surface dives to interact with aquatic life, up close and personal.
