Our Sydney-based Openwater scuba diving program combines online theory with practical pool and ocean dives. The course aims to train you for scuba diving up to 20 meters deep, leading to the globally recognized Openwater Scuba Diver certification.
Before the course begins, participants must complete 3-4 hours of online theory, followed by a theoretical exam. A swimming competency test is also required, including a 200-meter swim and 10-minute water tread, with no time limit and using any style. The initial practical diving skills are taught and practiced in a pool in Sydney.
The course progresses with four open water dives in the stunning Sydney ocean. These sessions reinforce pool-learned skills and introduce additional techniques, ensuring your proficiency as an Open Water scuba diver. After completing all theoretical and practical elements, your instructor will validate your log book and student record file, certifying you as a Scuba Diver. This certification is internationally recognized.

I had an absolutely great weekend. I would highly recommend the open water dive course. Incredible enthusiastic friendly staff. Daniel was our mentor and he was fantastic! He was really encouraging supportive and brought so much fun and laughter to the group throughout the weekend. It was my first time diving and now I want to get my advanced diving certificate. I would recommend the transport bus for the weekend. It’s a great way to meet and get to know the group.. at the end of the course we had pizza and beers to celebrate our achievements. Don’t hesitate to book the course book it now in Alexandria 😃
