The name Open Water course is pretty much standardized in the industry for the beginning level course. But there are still some "lower level" courses (sometimes called a Scuba Diver course) in addition to the Open Water course. Just see which one give you more dives. You should get 4 to 5 scuba dives in your course with a possible skin dive which is often optional, but in general the Open Water course is considered the better and more complete course.

Do you need to update certification for SCUBA dive?

Yes. There is no law that prevents uncertified divers diving. However, most shops require some kind of training for liability reasons.However, many organisations (including PADI), offer "discover scuba diving" courses (sometimes referred to as "resort courses" because they are often done on holiday), which take just a half a day, and allow you to dive under the supervision of an instructor to limited depths.


What legal requirements do you need to scuba dive?

There are no legal requirements to scuba dive. In other words, anyone can scuba dive without breaking a law (assuming you are not doing an illegal underwater activity such as illegal fishing). However, if you are not certified, you will not be able to rent or buy equipment or get someone to fill your scuba cylinder.
