Dive Forster at Fisherman's Wharf
The standard PADI Open Water Diver course runs over 3 action packed days and suits those who are already confident snorkellers or ocean swimmers. Our class numbers are up to 6 on these courses.
To enrol in a PADI Open Water Diver course (or Junior Open Water Diver course), you must be at least 10 years old. You need adequate swimming skills and need to be in good physical health.
Everything you'll get in standard Open water course, plus so much more. The Premium PADI Open Water Diver course runs over your choice of two evening sessions, and two days on the weekend to complete your open water dive component. This course is perfect for those who want more time in the pool to really nail all their dive skills and gain that confidence before we head out into the open water, with smaller class numbers (max of 4) and a remedial pool day (included) in case there's any skills you'd like to fine tune before getting in the ocean, each pool session is 4 hours as well instead of the one 3 hour pool session in the standard course.
Now you can start to explore the oceans which are the other 70% of our Planet!
All of the inclusions of the Premium PADI Open Water Course, with the added benefit of being able to set your own schedule. You can do this course on your own, 1 on 1 with the instructor. Or, if you want to bring someone along and have your own instructor for just the two of you, or if you have a family group and want that private class experience.
If you would like to add another person, add $590 for each extra individual.
