Description

5 Day 2 Night PADI Open Water Certification
Learn how to dive in a classroom for 2 days before spending 3 days and 2 nights putting what you’ve learnt into practice on board the liveaboard dive boat, Ocean Quest.

The most popular option for dive students is the 5 Day Liveaboard adventure, which will not only award you with PADI Open Water Diver certification but also enable you to enjoy five extra ‘Fun Dives’, including a night dive that’s fully guided at no additional cost.

Divers Den provides enthusiastic customer service that’s tailored to the individual. The toasty waters of the tropical Great Barrier Reef offer the perfect environment in which to learn to dive, and combined with one of the best and most popular PADI 5 Day Open Water courses on the market, guarantee an absolutely unforgettable experience.

4 Day 1 Night PADI Open Water Dive Course
If you don’t have much time with just 4 days to spare, the 4 day 1 night option enables you to obtain the very same Open Water Certification, the difference being that you will spend just 2 days and 1 night diving the reef, experiencing a total of 5 dives. Your first 2 days will be spent attending classroom and pool lessons, and the third and fourth days will be spent on board Ocean Quest, with one night on the reef.

4 Day PADI Open Water Dive Course
The 4 day course is the perfect affordable dive course option including 2 day trips to the reef without staying overnight. Your first two days of the course are spent attending classroom and pool lessons, and on the third and fourth days you head out to 2 reef locations on board the day boat, Aqua Quest, which takes you back to town at the end of each day. This option does not come with accommodation.
