DIVE ZONE TAURANGA ONLINE SHOP

The PADI open water course is made up of 4 sections

Online eLearning – We will issue you with an eLearning key. This will allow you to complete the theory portion of the course online in your own time. – Please ensure the eLearning is completed (and uploaded to PADI) before you attend the pool session

Confined water (pool) session – We will spend the two days in our indoor heated pool learning the skills you need to become an Open water diver. 

Open Water 1 & 2 (lake) session – Our first two open water dives will be done at Lake Rotoma, this site has been chosen for its suitability as a training site that is able to be used in almost all weather conditions.

Open Water 3 & 4 (boat) session – Our last two open water dives will be in the ocean (weather dependant – we have the option to finish off the training at the lake if we are unable to get out on the boat) we typically use a sheltered side of Motiti Island, or Rabbit Island as our training sites.

For your practical sessions (Pool, Lake, Boat) we provide all the diving equipment you require, with the exception of a mask and snorkel (as this is a personal fit item).  Please ensure you bring the following with you:

Mask and Snorkel                                                       

Tog’s and Towel

Warm clothes for after diving                                    

Lunch (especially on lake and boat days as there are no shops close by these sites)

Something to drink

Please answer the medical questions honestly for your safety and ours. If all answers are No you are fit to dive, if you answer Yes to any of the questions, you will need sign off by a Doctor. 

Purchasing this course online constitutes confirmation you have completed the medical form and are fit to dive.
