Itinerary
Day 1
E-Learning & Pool Dives
So on the first day you will probably go over what you learned online and do a quick assessment on your theoretical knowledge. Then its time for the pool where your PADI Instructor will teach you about equipment set up and will build on your skills, starting from simple and working towards more complex so that when you get to the ocean you will be confident in your diving abilities and looking forward to seeing the good stuff - marine life!
Day 2
More pool work and meeting some fish
Depending on the tides and on how fast you want to or have progressed with your pool dives, you may jump in the pool again or you may go out for your first two dives. As your first dives are at a maximum of 12M we normally dive in one of our sheltered lagoon sites.
Day 3
Finishing your course
So its time for your last two dives and by now your confidence will have built and you will be raring to see what its like a little deeper. We usually dive on the fringing reefs of the South East Coast which you will be able to explore to a maximum of 18M.
Then come back, log your dive and you are set and certified as a PADI Openwater Diver, the worlds most popular diving certification
