First, you will need to complete PADI ‘eLearning’ to lay the theoretical foundation, then once here in Port Douglas you’ll spend 3 days under expert supervision, practicing all of the fundamental skills required to dive with a buddy, to a maximum depth of 18 metres, anywhere in the world!

The first day with us will be training in the pool at The Mirage Country Club, followed by 2 days at The Great Barrier Reef. 4 open water dives are required for certification and we include 2 free extra dives on the last day of the course, for you to relax and explore the Great Barrier Reef while still under our guidance.

No previous experience with scuba is necessary as we will guide you through all of the essential aspects of safe diving including equipment preparation, dive planning and problem management.

If you are already an Open Water Diver then the PADI Advanced Open Water course will take your diving ability to the next level. Even if your certification is from an organisation other than PADI, you can still take this course.

The PADI Advanced Open Water Diver provides you with the opportunity to experience different types of scuba diving while expanding your knowledge and understanding of core principles while having fun doing it!

You will plan and complete five dives, two of which are mandatory – Deep and Navigation. The other three dives, you can choose from the list below. There is also theory training as part of the course.

If you are passionate about the environment and ecosystems then the AWARE fish identification or Naturalist dives would be great options. For anyone interested in science or more technical aspects of scuba diving, Enriched Air (Nitrox), Self-Reliant or Sidemount dives are for you.

Finally, while not compulsory, the Peak Performance Buoyancy dive is highly recommended and will help you to achieve Zen-like buoyancy control, making your dives effortless, relaxed and more enjoyable.
