Specifications

This can be used to becoming a PADI MASTER SCUBA DIVER

Unlike wetsuits, drysuits are filled with air. During your drysuit course, your instructor will teach you how to control the air in your drysuit along with your buoyancy.

Prerequisites:

PADI Junior Openwater Diver or equivalent
Minimum 10 years or older
Current Dive Medical (conducted within the previous 12 months)

Course overview:

• Avoid common drysuit diving problems
• Choose a drysuit and undergarments
• Care for your drysuit

The course is divided into 4 segments:

1. Read and complete E-Learning Manuel
2. Instructor will go over your answers and talk more about your drysuit and what you will require before the water sessions
3. 1x Confined Water Pool session to work on skills and get comfortable before heading to do the open water sections.
4. 2x Open Water dives going over skills and techniques you learned in the pool and working on buoyancy and safety skills in the ocean

What do I need?

Personal dive gear (Full Kit) plus 3x tanks for the one confined and two open water dives. Don't worry if you don't have this yet as you can hire it for $100, but for comfort, we recommend you have your own. Speak to us first before purchasing to be sure the equipment is appropriate. A drysuit would recommend being your own as this is fitted for your body shape. You can hire but this must be organised before the day of the course.

Course cost 

Cost includes all training and reference materials, 2x open water dives with an Auckland Scuba Instructor.

Why should I dive with Auckland Scuba?

• We want you to enjoy your diving experience so you’ll come to love diving as we do.
• Our instructors are passionate about diving and will ensure that your first underwater experience will be a fun and safe experience.
• We have regular dive trips throughout the year from our own boat (not charters). We believe that once you've learnt to dive, you'll want to carry on so why not learn with a centre that actually gets out diving?!
• We have the best price guarantee. If you find a better price for the same equipment, we'll match it.
• We offer our students extra sessions if required so that you are comfortable before going out into the ocean (additional fees may apply).
• We have a high standard of well-maintained equipment in our school including computers.
