However, to do these, you are not allowed to go for an independent dive or for other more complex ones without proper certification such as from PADI or SSI. Such certifications encompass detailed preparation of theoretical information and practical skills and make it possible to scuba dive independently.

If you have an interest in practicing scuba diving as a leisure practice, you should take your time and enroll in a certification program.
