Open Water

Course Description

The PADI Open Water course is the most recognised diver certification in the world.

This means wherever you travel to, your diver certification will be recognised.

Learning to dive is a combination of learning the basics in the classroom, practicing in the pool and then completing four dives in the sea.

Our course includes an extra three dives once you finish your training. These are valid for two months, giving you plenty of time to get back out for more fun. These fun dives are guided by an Instructor or Dive Master.

The Open Water course is $450 which includes all PADI materials, PADI diver certification, use of all scuba equipment, wetsuit, weight belt and 7 dives.

You need to provide your own mask, snorkel, fins, booties and gloves. These items can be purchased from us and packages start from around $300. Alternatively you can hire mask, snorkel, fins and booties for $50 for the duration of the course.

If our scheduled courses don’t suit you, give us a call and we may be able to alter dates to suit your schedule.

We can run private courses for groups of five or more.

One on one courses can be run for $700.
