If you do not feel like doing your Deep dive yet or you do not want to go deeper then 18 meter, you can also just start with your Padi Adventure Diver Course (3 scuba dives, whatever Padi Adventure Dive you choose). You can even do your Padi Rescue Diver Course, without going deeper then 18 meter. Before your Padi Dive Master or Padi Master Scuba Diver though, you have to finish this, by making 2 more scuba dives (in which a deep dive is compulsory) and becoming an Padi Advanced Open Water Diver
