General Course Information
Open Water Course
Introduces you to the world of diving, giving you the qualification you need to go diving anywhere in the world to a maximum depth of 18m. OW courses start with theory on a Thursday night, another Thursday night a week later and all of the following weekend. Remember that you will need a current (12 months max) medical by a certified dive doctor (http://www.spums.org.au/diving-doctors)

to be allowed to participate in the course. Get this before you sign up, as deposits are non-refundable!

Advanced Open Water Course
Broadens your skill level, allowing you to start diving deep to a maximum of 30m. The AOW course features several specialty dives, such as night dives, wreck dives and deep dives etc. There is no minimum number of dives before you can start your AOW, but it is generally recommended to get familiar with diving first. The advanced course generally runs over 2 days.
