OVERVIEW
This is an introductory, non-certification
program suitable for two purposes:
- to introduce non-divers to scuba diving.
Participants may scuba dive in confined or open water under closely
controlled conditions.
- to provide sufficient training to enable
graduates of the full program to continue to scuba dive under controlled
conditions without meeting the requirement of scuba certification.
The instructor may elect to offer all or
any portion of the program. Similarly, the participant may elect to take
all or any portion of the program as offered. At any point, the program
may be converted to the Scuba Diver Course. Within time limits, credit for
program training may be given persons who complete it and subsequently
enroll in a NAUI Scuba Diver Course.
QUALIFICATIONS OF GRADUATES
- Continued Diving. Passport holders may scuba dive in open water under the
direct supervision of active-status NAUI leaders with the following
restriction: Program knowledge and water skills of Passport holders who
have not made Passport supervised dives within the previous six months
are to be evaluated in confined water by an active-status NAUI
Instructor and any refresher training needed is to be successfully
completed before the Passport holders are taken into open water.
- Training Credit. Passport holders are eligible for Scuba Diver course credit
provided they have successfully completed the PDP in the previous six
months or can submit proof of additional supervised Passport dives in
the previous six months.
