Melbourne PADI Open Water Diver Course
Melbourne PADI Open Water Diver Course
3 Days • Daily
Dive with Good Divers
The PADI Open Water Diver course is where you go from never having breathed underwater to holding a certification you can use anywhere in the world. Training with Good Divers in Melbourne starts in the pool, where you cover the theory and set up your own equipment, then moves to open water for four dives split over two sessions. You finish certified to dive to 18 metres with a buddy.
The first breath underwater in the pool feels strange for a few seconds, then it doesn't. From there you practise the skills one at a time: clearing your mask, finding your regulator, controlling how you rise and sink. By the last open water dive you're the one checking your gauges, signalling your buddy and deciding when to turn around. Most people surface from that dive already thinking about where to go next.
