LEARN TO DIVE – JUNIOR OPEN WATER COURSE (13-14 years of age)

Your Open Water course is made up of 3 modules:

THEORY

The home study component of the theory is done at your convenience and at your own pace. It is then reviewed in a classroom session with your instructor. A guardian will need to be present and complete the consent forms and view the risk awarenes DVD.

CONFINED WATER (POOL) TRAINING

This phase of the training takes place in the comfort of a heated pool. You will go through 6 specific key areas and skills sets that will give you the knowledge and confidence to transition successfully into the ocean. This will be achieved through repetition of these skills.

OPEN WATER TRAINING

You will do 2 Open Water shore or pier dives where you will demonstrate to your instructor your ability to perform the skills learnt in the pool. (Student to instructor ratio 1:2)

Saturday: You will finish your course with 2 boat dives experiencing some of the best of Victorian diving. (Student to instructor ratio 1:2 with a maximum depth of 12mts)

COST: $1550 per person

There are some things that we simply cannot provide you with, and this is more out of concern for your health & wellbeing than anything else. These include a snorkel (risk of orally transmitted diseases), a mask (to prevent fogging up divers spit in their masks, would you like to put on your face something that someone else has recently spat in?), dive boots (tinea is a nasty fungal bug that loves to jump from one person to another), gloves (dermatitis) and finally we recommend that to complete your own snorkelling kit you purchase fins. You will also need a divers’ log book, we have various options for you to choose from. All required items are available for purchase from Scuba Culture.
