About the Course

The 7-Heroes Scuba Diver course is a great option if you’re short on time but eager to dive! This course serves as an intermediate step towards earning your Open Water Diver certification, especially if you plan to dive mainly with a guide.

As a 7-Heroes Scuba Diver, you’ll be qualified to:

• Dive under the direct supervision of a 7-Heroes Professional to a maximum depth of 12 meters (40 feet).
• Obtain air fills, rent or purchase scuba equipment, and participate in dive activities with proper supervision.
• Continue your dive training by completing the Open Water Diver certification and pursuing specialty diver courses.

To enroll in the 7-Heroes Scuba Diver course (or Junior Scuba Diver course), you must be 10 years old or older, possess adequate swimming skills, and be in good physical health. No prior diving experience is required, but you can try it out first through our Discover Scuba® Diving program.

Getting Started

Begin your journey by registering for Open Water Diver eLearning, allowing you to start the course anytime and anywhere at your convenience. You can also choose other home study options, such as the Open Water Diver Manual and Open Water Diver Video. Visit your local 7-Heroes dive shop to enroll, get your materials, and start reading and watching. Your 7-Heroes Instructor will then schedule knowledge review sessions, confined water training, and open water dives.

3. Open Water Dives: You’ll apply your skills and explore during two of the four dives from the Open Water Diver course.
