The Open Water course is taught over three days. Importantly, you will be trained to dive to a maximum depth of 18 metres once completed.
Why is Scuba Shane Diving different?
More, our scuba courses are taught in small groups of no more than 5 students. Therefore, each student gets a more personalised and comprehensive experience. Moreover, our cost is a one off, with no hidden fees. This price covers gear hire. This includes dive computers, theory, certification card, pool entry, tanks, integrated BCD and unlimited dad jokes! Most important, the course also includes a FREE a digital certification card for your electronic devices. No other Brisbane dive store teaches with integrated BCD and offers you a free digital card! Therefore, you are ready to dive immediately after completing your Open Water course.
How is the course structured?
The Open Water Diver course begins with a pre-course introduction. This is conducted either by phone or email. Importantly, students are expected to study the course theory in their own time.
The first day of the course is the confined scuba dive, which begins at 8:00am and finished at 2:00pm at Goodlife Health Club Morningside. On this day, you will learn all the necessary skills to complete the Open Water course.
Afterwards, the second and third day are conducted at the high tide in the ocean. Here, you will demonstrate the skills learnt at the pool while enjoying the opportunity of diving in the ocean for the first time.
Importantly, if you have an urge to dive with the turtles at Cook Island, there will be an opportunity to upgrade on the third day.
Finally, on the third day, the instructor goes over your dive logs. Further information about the Advanced course is also provided to interested students.
What happens after I complete the course?
Importantly, your new Open Water certification card will be posted to your nominated address. Additionally, your FREE digital card will be uploaded into your account instantly. The certification card is valid for a lifetime anywhere in the world. Therefore, once received, you will be ready to explore every ocean in the world!

I don’t trust stairs……………..They’re always up to something!
Shane is a excellent instructor providing clear, concise and informative direction with a smile. His fun and energy is contagious that turns an otherwise serious course into a great couple of days in and out of the water.
I would like to say big thank you to Shane and his team for making the SDI Open Water Scuba Diver course fun as stress free as possible. Shane’s course is run over 3 days, I found when doing my research other companies offer it over the 2 days, I found the 3 days to be perfect balance of theory, practical and allow for fatigue. The course was run efficiently and safety was effectively managed. I would highly recommend this course and Shane’s Diving to others.
