Open water course dates 2012

If you have any special requests for dates please call us and we will see what we can work out. If there is a group of you wishing to do a course you can pick dates and dive location to suit your own requirements. We can also organise courses for one on one, small or family groups. If you require more information please call in at the shop or phone us.

Please note:

Weekend courses start in the classroom at 6pm on the first Friday night of weekend courses. All you require is your manuals and a pen. Expect to finish between 8:30 and 9:30pm. Saturdays and Sundays start at 9:00am and finish about 4pm but this depends on the class size and their abilities (it's better to run a little late than rush people).

Saturdays and Sundays of the second weekend for the Goat Island/Pupuke start at 9:00 am (meeting at either Goat Island or Lake Pupuke) and finish about 4pm at the shop on Saturday and 1pm on the Sunday.

If you have problems attending a part of the course we will try to slot you in somewhere else, however if one on one training is required or you wish to change weekends mid course there may be a charge. The earlier you let us know the easier it will be to accommodate change with minimum extra cost.

On the Friday before the second weekend you will pick up your scuba equipment from the shop then on Saturday morning head up to the Goat Island marine reserve at Leigh. The weekends of these courses are picked so as to coincide with high tides that suit us (this means less swimming to obtain adequate depth). Here you will do two dives, the first being purely a scenic dive with no skills to do. The second dive will be mostly 'Tiki Tour' as well but with a few skills to complete during the dive. After debriefing we will pack the cars and head back to the shop to collect 2 new full tanks then head home. On Sunday we will meet at Lake Pupuke for two dives where the rest of the dive skills will be done during two dives. After that there is a little paper work to do then it's off to the shop to drop off and clean equipment then off home with the course completed. As Lake Pupuke is close to central Auckland this will be a short day. Lake Pupuke is an extinct Volcano that was made about 50,000 years ago, this lake was also north shores water supplied in the early days, There's lots to see, Brown trout, rainbow trout, perch and fresh water jelly fish there are also lots of goodies that divers have lost such as torches and masks.

You will pick up your scuba equipment from the shop on the Friday before the second weekend. On Saturday we will meet at Lake Pupuke for two dives where we will practice our dive skills during two dives.

If you have problems attending a part of the course we will try to slot you in somewhere else, however if one on one training is required or you wish to change weekends mid course there may be a charge. The earlier you let us know the easier it will be to accommodate change with minimum extra cost.
