PADI Open Water Dive Course

Begin your scuba journey with Adelaide's most experienced dive centre – Underwater Sports Diving Centre. Our dedicated team of PADI professionals is committed to delivering a safe, enjoyable, and high-quality learning experience, backed by nearly three decades of industry expertise.

With 29 years under the same South Australian family ownership, we know that investing more time in our students creates safer, more confident divers who truly love their time underwater. Our training approach focuses on personalised support, skill development, and building your comfort and confidence at your own pace.

Your Open Water Diver course includes independent self-study, classroom theory review with your instructor, and three days of practical training—featuring confined water (pool) sessions and four ocean dives. We prioritise safe, positive learning conditions, which means we won't take you to the nearest site if visibility or weather isn't suitable. Be prepared to travel a little further for a better experience. If conditions are unsafe—whether due to weather or algal blooms—we will choose a safer location or reschedule to ensure your safety and enjoyment.

We offer a range of course options to suit your needs, including weekend or weekday schedules, budget group courses, flexible private classes, and fully private 1-on-1 training.
