Open
Water Course 
The PADI Open Water course is a full certification course allowing you to scuba dive independently of an instructor or divemaster to a maximum recommended depth of 18m. As a certified diver you will experience amazing dive destinations and marine life, new friends, new adventures and lots of fun. The open water course is just the beginning however. As you continue your training and gain experience, your opportunities will expand.
The PADI Open Water Diver course is a performance based course and can be broken down to three components:
The Knowledge Development section will give you the theory required to feel happy and confident in the water. This is completed as self study before the course begins using the PADI crew pack. This pack includes your Open Water Diver Manual, Diver's Log Book, Recreational Dive Planner and more. All of the materials needed to get you off to a flying start. On day one of your course, you will view the corresponding section of the Open Water DVD which also previews the skills that you will learn. You will briefly review what you studied in each section with your instructor and complete a short quiz. Before the completion of your course you will complete an exam demonstrating a sufficient understanding of scuba diving concepts.
Next is your Confined Water Training. This is where you develop your basic scuba skills including how to prepare your scuba units, entering and exiting the water safely, breathing comfortably under the water and clearing your mask without having to come to the surface. You will also learn some emergency skills to give you the comfort and confidence needed in the open water. This is a fun and exciting day that will allow you to familiarise yourself with your equipment.
Finally you will have your four Open Water Dives needed for certification. This is your chance to put all of your newfound skills into practice and experience the underwater adventure. Most of the skills that you learnt in the Confined water are repeated giving you the confidence and experience needed to dive safely after your course.
Full Time Open Water Course
The full time course has been designed for travellers or shift workers who wish to complete the certification during the week. The full time Open Water course is held over 4 consecutive days beginning on a Tuesday and finishing on Friday.
Tuesday is spent reviewing the knowledge development section in the classroom and retail area. It is here that you will learn the essentials about pressure under water, equipment features and fitting and the underwater environment. This is a fun and interactive day gearing you up for the in-water phase of the course to follow.
Wednesday you will get wet beginning your confined water training!! Starting the day at our local training pool you will learn to assemble the scuba gear correctly, safe donning of the equipment, entry and exits from the water along with around 20 different skills to give you the confidence needed for your open water dives.
Thursday morning, you will complete 2 spectacular shore dives off beautiful Stradbroke Island with your instructor giving you dive times ranging from 45-60 minutes each dive, well above the industry standard of 25 – 30 mins.
Friday will see you experiencing 2 spectacular coral reef ocean boat dives. You will make your way to one of Stradbroke Island's stunning dive sites and descend to a maximum depth of 18m. Both dives will range between 45-60 minutes giving you the maximum possible time to interact with the huge variety of marine life at all of our sites. Imagine swimming through schools of colourful fish, alongside a turtle or in the right time of year….with a Humpback Whale!
