PADI Open Water Course Schedule
Choosing PADI E-learning, PADI touch or Home-study, you need to complete this before Day 1 of the practical. The theory is comprehensive so you will need to allocate adequate time to complete it (approx 6 hours)
If using our Classroom theory method, you start your course learning all the theory in one day before Day 1 of the Practical. (must be pre-aaranged as no longer a standard method)
Once your PADI E- Learning or theory is complete..
- Day 1 Start your SCUBA Diving! The fun begins in the Pool with all your SCUBA skills and orientation of Scuba Diving. We also show you the gear, what to choose or not choose, and what is right for you. You start at 8.00am at the shop.
- Day 2 It’s in the water for Open Water Dive 1 and 2 at the Soliatry Islands. You will do some skills assessments. The Solitary Islands has some great fishlife and perfect depth for these two dives.
- Day 3 It’s in the water again for Open Water Dive 3 and 4 at the Soliatry Islands. You will do some skills assessments, but most of the dives you will be looking at the amazing fishlife of the New South Wales north coast.

Why dive at Coffs Harbour?
- The Solitary Islands Marine Park is where the Tropical Fish from the Great Barrier Reef meet the huge schools of fish from Temperate waters. You can see Nemo and Dory along with the friendly Grey Nurse sharks, rare Black Cod and Turtles, there is so much to see.
- The Solitary Islands dive-sites are offshore! Close enough to be a quick trip and yet far enough to get clean, pristine water which you can’t get inshore. You may even see Whales in season, on the way!
- The Solitary Islands Marine Park is Pristine! We have vibrant corals and over the top, wall to wall Fish! We dive in Marine Sanctuary Zones that are just action packed.
- It may be just your boat out there! There is no crowds, like the larger boats at the Great Barrier Reef. It could be just you or your small group learning to dive!
- The water temperature is the same as the southern Great Barrier Reef, not to cold, and with our wetsuits, great for all year round.
- Genuine quality PADI courses. We teach in small groups and make sure you have the training and skill to dive anywhere in the world.
