At Merimbula Divers Lodge, you can try SCUBA diving, even if you have never dived before! Tick off that item on your list of ‘things you’ve always wanted to do’. You can just have a go in our pool, specially constructed for dive instruction, or you can experience an open water, shore based, dive. At all times, you will be under the close supervision of a highly qualified instructor. During the program, you will receive some basic theoretical and practical instruction, then, if you have elected the open water option, it’s off to do the real thing!
Scuba Diver Program.
The Scuba Diver Qualification is designed for those who will dive regularly, but infrequently. Once again, you will be under the close supervision of an instructor at all times. To attain your passport, you will complete a theory session at the Merimbula Divers Lodge, and practical instruction in the pool. Then it’s off to enjoy two dives in the open water! After that, you can keep your passport current by undertaking two dives every six months under the supervision of a dive leader. This program does not qualify you to conduct unsupervised dives.
