PADI Scuba Diver Course

The PADI Scuba Diver Course at Jetty Dive Centre in Coffs Harbour is a two-day program plus self-study, designed as a restricted entry level certification for those new to scuba diving. This course allows participants to dive to a maximum depth of twelve meters under the direct supervision of a certified instructor or divemaster. The program combines theoretical learning through PADI e-learning, confined water training in a pool, and two open water boat dives at the Solitary Islands Marine Park. Participants gain essential scuba skills, learn safety procedures, and develop confidence in the water, all within a structured and supportive environment. Small group training ensures personalized attention and guidance from experienced instructors, making the learning experience both effective and enjoyable.

The course includes full equipment hire for the ocean dives, and e-learning access is available in your personal PADI library for life. By default, the course is scheduled over two consecutive days, but the second day can be rescheduled if necessary by contacting the dive center after booking. Participants must be able to swim 200 meters or snorkel 300 meters and stay afloat or tread water for ten minutes. A medical assessment is required to ensure participants are fit for diving, and pregnant individuals are not permitted to dive. This program provides a safe and engaging introduction to scuba diving, allowing learners to explore the underwater world with confidence and supervision while gaining an internationally recognized certification.
