 Overview of Our Sydney Openwater Scuba Course

This Openwater scuba diving course in Sydney uniquely blends online theoretical study with hands-on training in both a controlled pool environment and the open ocean. Designed to equip you with the skills for diving up to 18 meters, the course leads to the globally acknowledged Openwater Scuba Diver certification.

Initially, participants engage in 3-4 hours of online theory, culminating in a theoretical exam. Additionally, a physical swimming test is mandatory, involving a 200-meter swim and a 10-minute water tread, with no constraints on time or swimming style. Primary practical diving techniques are first honed in a Sydney-based pool.

The course intensifies with four ocean dives in Sydney's beautiful waters. These practical sessions not only reinforce skills learned in the pool but also introduce advanced diving practices, ensuring you become a proficient Open Water scuba diver. Upon successful completion of all theory and practice components, your instructor will endorse your log book and student file, officially certifying you as a Scuba Diver with international recognition.

Fitness for diving is essential for participation in the Openwater Course in Sydney, and you may be required to undergo a diving medical examination.

Loved this experience. Had a really awesome dive instructor who made me feel comfortable and confident. Unfortunately, we had some very poor visibility due to sydney rain, but they were very kind to offer us to join another day when conditions are better to complete our 3rd and 4th dive. by Ken Vinh Khang Lu - 05-Apr-2024

Did a course with Daniel. Genuinely couldn't imagine a better person to take you through the weekend. Casual, informative, funny, and engaging. Had an amazing time and Daniel alone would keep me coming back to Pro Dive Manly. Course and cost were both fantastic - highly recommend to anyone thinking about it. by Rowan Brooke - 22-Mar-2024
