If you take our Budget Open Water Course option you’ll make the minimum required 4 ocean dives. Our Standard and Premium Open Water Course options include a bonus double boat dive trip (valued at $165) so you’ll make 6 amazing dives in the ocean during your course!
Here’s a breakdown of each of the three key components of the course:
- Knowledge Development: Utilizing PADI’s latest teaching aids will keep classroom time to a minimum while ensuring you understand the basic principles of scuba diving. It’s also possible to complete the theory learning online from home – if you would prefer this option just let us know!

You’ll be in the hands of our capable and experienced PADI Instructors in a safe and controlled environment which allows you to get comfortable with the gear and skills required for the course.
- Open Water Dives: This is what it’s all about! During your ocean dives you’ll have the opportunity to use your new skills to explore and see some of the most diverse and incredible marine life found anywhere in the world. Your Instructor will be with you from start to finish and will show you some of Adelaide’s most unique critters.
