PADI Open Water Courses

Explore the amazing underwater world - COME DIVING!
Dive HQ Wellington want you to gain the skills and knowledge necessary to dive safely and confidently and to have fun underwater.

There are 10 simple steps to becoming a scuba diver.

You will be diving from your very first session, to learning & practicing dive skills such as buddy assist skills, swimming techniques and buoyancy control. There are 4 sea dives required for certification during which we not only review the skills you have already learnt but we get to go diving and explore the underwater world.

With up to 3 days of FREE gear hire included in your course we invite you to come diving with our Dive Club to gain more experiences, meet other divers and have more FUN!

As a certified PADI Open Water Diver you will enjoy a variety of local, national and overseas dive opportunities with Dive Club Wellington.
