This means that not only will you gain the skills that you need to dive safely and enjoyably, but you will get to visit some spectacular dive sites and see amazing sea creatures from your very first ocean training dive!  We provide lots of individual attention so that by the time you are ready for the ocean dives you will be able to concentrate on enjoying yourself while you revise the skills you learned in the classroom and in the pool...our instructors are extremely friendly, knowledgeable and fun!!!

This usually costs about $18 -$25 and we can just add this to your outstanding balance if you need your book before you arrive in Exmouth. 

 

The alternative to doing your homework with the PADI Open water manual real book or on-line book is to complete via e-learning which you can sign up through PADI and costs an additional amount on top of the course cost, but if you register our store number 8165 as the store where you will be completing the course with you will receive a  partial credit towards your e-learning course.
