Open Water Diver courses are completed over three days minimum and are conducted by certified SSI dive instructors:
But what do I have to do?
- Dive theory reading and discussions to build necessary dive knowledge - this can be completed on-line before coming on holiday and save precious holiday time - Recommended
- Complete the Open Water Diver exam - yes you have to actually learn this stuff - you need to be a safe and confident diver
- Shallow Confined Water sessions to learn your dive skills and build confidence with these skills - they're not difficult and with the skilled coaching of your instructor, they will be mastered with relative ease. Definition of confined waters is 'Swimming pool like conditions' but with the benefit of being in the salt water environment from the beginning of your training.
- Complete four Open Water dives where you will practice and perfect the skills you learnt in the confined waters- but there are fish and cool things to see out on these dives and let's face it, that's why you are learning to dive.
- PLEASE NOTE: There are some medical conditions that may preclude you from learning to scuba dive - check the 'Medical Statement' form below for the Medical Declaration that you will need to complete prior to commencing practical training. If in doubt about anything on the form, check with us, and we may request you obtain a medical clearance from your doctor in advance. Not all YES answers to conditions mean you can't dive - it just means it needs to be discussed and a medical clearance from your health professional is all it takes, he/she knows more about this than we do - we're Diving Instructors, not doctors,
Need to be certified Open Water Diver first.
- Five open water specialty dives - each dive focusing on the skills and knowledge to be gained from five different Specialty Diver courses.
- Includes a specialty Deep dive to 30 meters and a specialty Navigation dive.
- The remaining three specialty dives can be from a range of specialties that you may have an interest in eg Boat diver, Underwater naturalist diver, Perfect buoyancy diver, Equipment techniques, Wreck Diver, Search & Recovery Diver, Night Low Visibility Diver. We can chat about the specialty dive options and discover with you which courses interest you the most - then tailor the dives to advance your dive experience and confidence to suit. It is our aim to certify you as a safe and confident diver, and we keep going until you are.
Self Assessed Medical Statement required prior to diving -
check it out and let us know if you appear to have an issue and
we may request a professional medical clearance be obtained.
