The course runs over 2 weeks: a Thursday evening session covering orientation, dry skills, and equipment fitting; pool sessions on the Saturday and Sunday; a lecture the following week covering dive planning (RDP) and safety; then open-water certification dives at Bass Lake or Miracle Waters over the closing Saturday and Sunday.
Discover Scuba is a supervised introductory dive session in the pool — no certification or prior experience needed, minimum age 10. It's the easiest way to try diving before committing to a full course.
Where a course includes PADI learning materials, that's built into the price shown above. Club membership (R1,000) brings the member rate down further and pays for itself quickly if you're doing more than one course.
Pool and classroom sessions are held in Gauteng at our own facility. Open-water certification dives take place locally at Bass Lake or Miracle Waters. Coastal trips to Sodwana Bay and Aliwal Shoal are separate, optional add-ons once you're certified.
