The fun starts as soon as you sign up for the PADI Open Water Diver Course in Perth with Coral reef Institute! This is your first step in scuba diving and is a full scuba diving certification. When certified you will be able to plan and conduct your own open water dives with a buddy while applying your skills within the limits of you training and experience. For training you will have an experienced Instructor guiding you all the way.
This is your ticket to a lifetime of intense adventure!
You will have to fill in and sign a medical statement (in your Crew pack) when registering and you will need to obtain a medical certificate from a doctor stating that you are medically fit to scuba dive. Not sure? Give us a call and we will gladly help! A Liability release form as well as a statement of understanding is also included and need to be read through thoroughly and signed before commencing with training.
Don’t buy your own equipment yet! During the presentations and pool dives we will show you different kinds of wetsuits, fins, masks & snorkels and all the other fancy stuff. You won’t need any soft gear for pool dives, however for your personal comfort it may be a good idea to invest in your own soft gear for the qualifying dives (mask, snorkel, wetsuit, weightbelt, booties & fins). Ask us about current specials for new divers.
