    Saw this and was wondering if anyone would have any idea if it leads to a qualification?

    I can't tell by looking at it so thought someone here might have an idea.

    The ad mentions "PADI scuba diver" and "PADI open water" (note the lack of capital letters), each of which is the name of a PADI course (when capitalised).
    However, the ad doesn't mention which (if either) of these qualifications you get.
    Neither of those would usually be doable in two days, and €100 per person
    (which is quoted as the 'usual' price) seems very cheap for either of those qualifications.
    I wonder if they might be offering a 'Discover Scuba Diving' experience (which does result in a certificate being presented, but isn't a qualification as such) with a second dive in the sea, the next day.

    I see they also appear to be doing the dive using "oxygen tanks"...
    I hope it's very shallow!

    Addition;

    If you look at their own site, they don't appear to have any courses priced at 100 per person.

    Makes me wonder!

    Yeah I was comparing their website to the deal.

    Meh... I will hold off for now I reckon. I have too much to do and can't justify getting in to diving at the moment.
