This is not an open water diving course… That means after this 'intro' course you are not certified to go diving.
The open water for the program above is $595
http://www.aquaticadventures.com.au/page.php?29 <— this Open water gives a free wetsuit to keep once you complete the program $599 program + wetsuit
http://www.bayplay.com.au/open-water.html <— $400 for an Open water course
Also call your dive companies and see if they have classes as opposed to 1 on 1 lessons. You can get deals much cheaper than the ones I listed above.
Yeah. Emailed them to ask if this 2 hour lesson can count towards the diving course. Still waiting for them to reply..
I am interested to know that as well, some of them do count the intro dive as the first lesson for open water.
If they would count this as day one of an open water dive, they probably would loose their diving instructor license. When you take an open water course it is either a weekend intensive (ie 8 hours per day) or spread over many weeks with only a couple hours per week.
If you are looking for something cheaper than the $595 from the company captioned, the then possibly check this one out
I was just asking if it could count towards the actual course in some way. I doubt they'll reply me in time though. Checked out the link you provided. Seems pretty good with the whole range of activities they provide(:
I'm not trying to knock your deal. It is a great way to see if you even like being underwater. I know some people who couldn't stand it (felt weird to them, couldn't clear their ears…) so it is a great way to check out if SCUBA works for someone.
Hope you find a SCUBA class that works for you
Great way to see if you even like being underwater. Oh yeah! I totally didn't think of that.. I know of a couple of friends who freaked out and refused to join in the open water dive after the pool session. They just sat on the boat. Total waste of $$.
