What does the course involve?

Firstly, you’ll spend a short time in the classroom over several days. Through video, self study and your instructor’s lectures you will master diving theory and the fundamentals of diving practices. Your knowledge will be evaluated through short quizzes and a final exam. You will be provided you with your own good quality and fully serviced equipment to use throughout the course.

You will have 2 pool sessions and that’s where the fun starts!! You’ll set up your own equipment and then you’ll first discover the feeling of breathing underwater. In a low stress environment you’ll practice the skills and techniques that you’ll use in the open water. On the final 2 days you will conduct your open water dives at the world-renowned Poor Knights Islands. You will complete two dives per day, the final days diving to a maximum of 18 metres.
