Course Structure:
The PADI Open Water Diver course is a performance-based course and comprises three components:
Knowledge Development
This is an online learning program provided upon booking – which you complete at your own pace. Your instructor always available for any assistance with the knowledge portion. You will then be required to come into Go Dive on a Thursday evening to review your knowledge ask any questions and go through equipment requirements.
Confined Water Training
After successful completion of the knowledge development component, we will meet at a designated pool to undertake a day of confined water training where you will conduct hands on training with diving equipment, learn and practice all basic diving skills, and learn how to identify and respond correctly to any diving problems.
Open Water Training
Following your confined water training we will do four open water boat dives during which you will demonstrate skills learned in the confined water session as well learn how to plan and lead your own dive. These dives will be completed in the Moreton Bay Marine Park and at the completion of these dives you will join the SCUBA diving community as a fully certified Open Water diver.
The SCUBA Gear You Will Use
During your Open Water Diver course, you will learn to use basic SCUBA gear including a dive computer. This equipment is the same style as the majority of rental equipment found in dive centres worldwide.
