HOW DO I BECOME AN

OPEN WATER DIVER?

First, complete PADI 'eLearning' to lay the theoretical foundation, then once here in Port Douglas you'll spend 3 days under expert supervision, practicing all of the fundamental skills required to dive with a buddy, to a maximum depth of 18 metres, anywhere in the world!

4 open water dives are required for certification and we include 2 free extra dives on the last day of the course, for you to relax and explore the Great Barrier Reef while still under our guidance.

​

No previous experience with scuba is necessary as we will guide you through all of the course components  you can see below

10-12 HOURS TOTAL

Prepare for your pool and open water training by first learning about important scuba diving facts, principles and techniques.

PADI 'eLearning' is your digital classroom where you can watch, read, listen, and interact with the information; while studying in comfort, and at your own pace

​

Completing the Open Water Diver course online, is also a great "clean-green" option. 

THEORY

1 DAY/8 HOURS

During the pool or 'confined water' training day, you will learn and master all of the skills, introduced during  the 'eLearning'/ online study portion.

From responding calmly and confidently to problems or emergencies; through to the ability to maintain efficient, "Coral-friendly" buoyancy control; Your highly experienced instructor will use all of their skill and knowledge to show you how to be in control while diving.

Our small classes also mean more individual attention and time for practice

REEF

SHORT ON TIME?

No problem! We also offer an introductory diving program  - 'Discover Scuba Diving'; which allows you to explore the amazing local Port Douglas reefs, without the commitment of completing prior study or pool training.
