PADI Scuba Diver Course Opens the Door to Safe Underwater Exploration in Coffs Harbour
The PADI Scuba Diver Course at Jetty Dive Centre in Coffs Harbour offers newcomers an accessible introduction to the world of scuba diving through a structured two-day program complemented by self-paced online learning. Designed as an entry-level certification, the course allows participants to dive to a maximum depth of 12 meters under the direct supervision of a certified instructor or divemaster. Combining classroom theory, pool-based skill development, and real ocean experiences, the program provides a safe and supportive environment for first-time divers.
Training begins with PADI e-learning, allowing participants to build a strong understanding of diving principles before entering the water. Practical instruction continues with confined-water sessions in a swimming pool, where essential scuba skills and safety techniques are practiced under close supervision. The course concludes with two open-water boat dives at the Solitary Islands Marine Park, giving students the opportunity to apply their new skills in a spectacular marine environment while gaining confidence beneath the surface.
To ensure a comfortable learning experience, training is conducted in small groups, allowing instructors to provide personalized guidance throughout the program. Full scuba equipment for the ocean dives is included, and participants retain lifetime access to their PADI e-learning materials through their personal digital library. While the course is typically completed over two consecutive days, the second training day may be rescheduled by contacting the dive centre after booking, offering additional flexibility for travelers.
Participants must be able to swim 200 meters or snorkel 300 meters, tread water or float for 10 minutes, and complete a medical assessment confirming their fitness to dive. For safety reasons, pregnant individuals are not permitted to participate. Upon successful completion, divers earn an internationally recognized PADI Scuba Diver certification, providing a solid foundation for future underwater adventures while exploring the ocean under professional supervision.

Customer Reviews
I had an absolutely fantastic weekend doing my orientation dive (and fun dives) with Ocean Divers at Killary Fjord! From the moment I arrived every member of staff and all the other divers were incredibly welcoming, friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was supportive and relaxed, making it easy to feel comfortable even if you’re just starting out like me (10 dives previously). There were a lot of divers, but each in small groups with their own dive master or dive instructor and grouped together in the OW/AOW courses or fun dives. While I had already done my OW elsewhere, I’ll definitely be doing the advanced course and further dives with these guys as the level of dedication and commitment that goes into making their students be successful divers is visible. Bring a bit of patience for the initial response period if you reach out during a very busy time - it‘s hard to respond when you’re always in the water 😄 but I honestly can’t recommend them enough if you’re looking to become a good diver and explore Irelands underwater world with a genuinely lovely group of people.
I’m doing the drysuit diver course with Oceandivers at the moment. I was having trouble getting my buoyancy right, so had six pool sessions to get it right at no extra charge!! What a crew Oceandivers have. There was no pressure, just take your time and get it right. Dan is always on hand to help you out and the rest of the lads are so helpful. I had my first sea dive for the buoyancy certification today off Dalkey island. It was fantastic!! The extra lessons really paid off. I cannot recommend the Oceandivers crew highly enough. It is and has been a pleasure working with Oceandivers to get my drysuit certification. Can’t wait to get back in the water with the crew!!
Did my Open Water course with Ocean Divers and couldn’t have asked for a better experience – especially on the trip out to Killary Harbour. Alan and Dan are absolute legends. They keep things calm, clear, and enjoyable from start to finish, and they’ve got a brilliant way of building your confidence without overcomplicating anything. Killary was a cracking spot to dive, and the lads made sure everyone got the most out of it, no matter their level. The whole vibe was relaxed but totally professional – you always felt in safe hands. Already looking forward to coming back for my Advanced course. If you’re thinking of giving diving a go, just book it with these lads. You won’t regret it.
