What certification do I need first?

PADI Open Water Diver (or equivalent) is the standard prerequisite for Project AWARE. If you're unsure whether your certification qualifies, get in touch and we'll confirm.

Why isn't a price shown on this page?

Project AWARE pricing depends on the current course schedule, so we confirm it directly rather than listing a fixed rate. Contact us and we'll give you the price and the next available date.

Where is the course run, and what pairs well with it?

Classroom sessions run at our Gauteng base. It pairs naturally with Fish Identification and Peak Performance Buoyancy, and is also a great specialty to combine with a coastal trip to Sodwana Bay or Aliwal Shoal. Reach out via contact to book or ask a question.
