FAQs for First-Time Divers
Is scuba diving safe for beginners?
Yes! Our small group sizes and highly trained instructors ensure a safe, enjoyable learning experience—even if you’ve never dived before.
What if I feel nervous or anxious underwater?
That’s completely normal. We move at your pace, and our instructors are trained to support nervous or anxious first-time divers.
Do I need to be a strong swimmer?
You should be able to swim 200 metres and float for 10 minutes. You don’t need advanced swimming skills—just basic water confidence.
How long is the course?
Only 2 in‑person days. You complete the theory part online before arrival using PADI eLearning.
What’s included in the price?

Yes! Contacts are fine, and we also offer prescription mask options if needed.
What happens after I get certified?
You’ll be a certified Open Water Diver—ready to explore the world! Plus, we run more local dives than any Sydney dive centre, so you can keep diving straight away.
