Becoming a Certified Diver

If you are reading this than it probably means that you are thinking about becoming a certified diver.

There are some basic requirements for diver certification which are:

• Good level of fitness (ie. be able to swim 200m, tread water for 10 minutes)
• You must be 12 years or older
• Not be a sufferer of asthma
• Be able to pass a dive medical to Australian standard A.S.4005-1

As easy as 1 2 3

There are 3 steps to becoming a certified diver which spans over 4 days.

Step 1: Day 1 Back to school for theory on diving and safe dive practices.

Step 2: Day 2 Into the pool for your first breath underwater and a thorough grounding on the equipment and techniques you will use as a certified diver.

Step 3: Day 3-4 Take to the high seas for 4 ocean dives conducted over two days. With all companies you have the choice of either doing this as two separate day trips to the reef or spending the night out at the reef. If you have the time and money we recommend taking the overnight reef option as it is a once in a life time experience and one you will never forget.
