Padi Swim Test

PADI swim test for scuba evaluation pass or fail

Official PADI Swim Test Requirements

You don’t need to be a strong swimmer or an athlete to scuba dive, but some degree of comfort in the water certainly helps.

PADI Swim Test: Divers will demonstrate that they can comfortably maintain themselves in water too deep in which to stand by completing a 10-minute swim/ float without using any swim aids. Candidates will also complete a 200 metre/yard continuous surface swim or a 300 metre/ yard swim with mask, fins and snorkel. The test is pass or fail but can be retaken at the next available pool class – retakes are free of charge.

The PADI swim test or swim evaluation will be conducted at the pool.
