Excellent Open Water Scuba Course
My son and I signed up for the Open Water Scuba Course. From start to finish, Latchi Watersports knows how to put on an efficient and safe course. JD was our course instructor and he was fantastic, patient and safety-first oriented. He was also entertaining and a lot of fun. Joining him in helping us was Marcus, Andy, Harvey and Matt. They were great as well. We felt very safe the entire time as they always had plenty of eyes on us to make sure we did everything correctly. The diving itself was a great experience and I highly recommend this team of experts.

Got our PADI! Thanks Latchi Watersport!
After doing the discover scuba dive in october 2021 we had such a good experience that we took our friends to latchi dive centre to get our open water PADI. Again we had the best experience. The staff is amazing (you gotta love JD). They are really helpful, especially with me having a mild handicap, they really did something extra to give me the best dives possible. Thank you so much for everything! Will reccommend to anyone considering becoming a scuba diver.

Scuba Diver Course: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paphos.
How much does Scuba Diver Course cost?
+
Prices start at $474 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Paphos usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Scuba Diver Course take?
+
Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Paphos is not rushed.
Is Scuba Diver Course worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 15 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Paphos, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Scuba Diver Course?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Scuba Diver Course suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Scuba Diver Course?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Paphos can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Paphos and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Scuba Diver Course start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Paphos within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Paphos?
+
On Outty we rank every Paphos experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Blue Lagoon Cruise with Sightseeing from Latchi Harbour, Troodos Mountains Villages: All Inclusive Food & Wine Day Tour, Wave Dancer Half Day BBQ Cruise - All Inclusive. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Paphos?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Paphos?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Scuba Diver Course?
+
Included: Bottled water; e -manual,; Use of SCUBA equipment; log book; and PADI certification fee,. Not included: Towels. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
What languages is Scuba Diver Course offered in?
+
It is offered in Russian and English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Scuba Diver Course?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Scuba Diver Course wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap; Specialized infant seats are available; and Transportation options are wheelchair accessible. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Scuba Diver Course if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
