Take the leap into the underwater world and earn your SDI Open Water Scuba Diver Certification, recognised worldwide. Squids Dive Co specialises in small-group training and personalised coaching, giving you more time with your instructor, more confidence in the water, and a smoother learning experience compared to traditional big-group courses.
Across 3 days, you’ll complete your confined water skills, four open-water dives, and all competency requirements using top-of-the-line scuba gear. Our instructors work closely with nervous or new divers and allow plenty of time for practice, questions, and skill refinement.
Your eLearning code will be sent only after your medical form is reviewed and cleared. Once your eLearning is finished, you’ll be ready to start your in-water training and become a fully certified diver.
Divers aged 10–14 years will receive a Junior Open Water certification and must dive with a parent/guardian or a dive professional until they reach the required age for independent diving. At 15 years old, juniors can upgrade to a full Open Water certification through a simple administrative process.
You’ll also have the option to purchase the same gear you train in, making your transition from student to certified diver smooth, comfortable, and familiar.

Day 1 — Orientation, Theory & Confined Water Training
Meet at Squids Dive Co HQ for a welcome, gear fitting, safety briefing, and course overview. Review key eLearning concepts with your instructor. Then head to the pool or sheltered site to learn foundational skills: breathing underwater, buoyancy, mask clearing, regulator recovery, ascents/descents, and safety procedures.
Day 2 — Open Water Dives 1 & 2
Gear up and enter the water for your first two ocean dives. You’ll practise basic skills, get comfortable in deeper water, and start exploring real marine environments under close instructor supervision. Slow pace, lots of support, and personalised coaching.
Day 3 — Open Water Dives 3 & 4 + Certification
Complete your final two dives and demonstrate your skills with confidence. Once you’ve met all safety and competency standards, you’ll be certified as an Open Water Scuba Diver, valid worldwide.
