★ PADI Junior Open Water Diver - Learn How to Dive

It's never too early to find your passion, bring the kids to learn how to dive and open up a whole new world to explore! Kids 12 years or older can became a certified Junior Open Water diver.

The course for the kids is the same as for adults. The difference for a junior certification is that the child need to go diving with a parent/guardian or divemaster and the maximum certification depth is 12 meters (as oppose to 18 meters for a Full Open Water Certification).

★ WHY DIVE WITH US?

At Frog Dive, we are a company built by experienced divers for divers. Founded in 1985, we are one of the oldest dive shops in Sydney providing the best deals on scuba gear and training. We are active divers, constantly diving in Australia and overseas in all conditions. Our team is knowledgeable in all types of diving and have the experience to go with it.

★ How does the course work?

Prior the practical sessions, the kid will need to complete the knowledge development portion, that is done online with PADI eLearning. Please remember to allow time for that! It's not hard content, but instead new and it demands a bit of attention. Estimated study time is 8 to 10 hours.

The first day of the course kicks off with a bit of paperwork then a pool session in a local heated pool. Transport is provided and you will be back at Frog Dive no later than 4pm.

It's a great opportunity to comfortably and safely learn and practice all the required skills and slowly build up the confidence for the Open Water dives.

On days two & three of the program the kid will have the opportunity to complete four ocean dives. The Open Water dives usually happen at Clifton Garden (Mosman) and Shelly Beach (Manly), with heaps of marine life for enjoyment and fun while conducting the diving training.
