Tas Divers Open Water training
Why learn to dive with Tas Divers?
Because your first course gives you more than a certification card — you get personal instructor attention, clear inclusions, and a direct pathway into real Tasmanian diving.
Compare the whole course, not just the sticker price
The cheapest option often costs the most when it leaves you unsupported and underprepared
Scuba is a high-trust purchase: you're choosing the people who will teach you to breathe, think, and move underwater for the first time. That's why at Tas Divers, we keep groups small, our inclusions transparent, and our support ongoing, even after you're certified.
What the difference feels like
Built for confidence
Personal instructor attention
With a maximum of 4 students per instructor, your questions get answered and your skills get the attention they deserve.
A destination to remember
Australian Traveller's 2026 Best Town, Bicheno, Tasmania, is the perfect place to start your diving obsession. Bring the family, make a weekend of it, and come see what all the fuss is about.
Real bonus value
We want to keep diving with you, so we make it easy: free gear hire for every club dive you come to for the first 3 months, 1-year free membership to Tasmanian Divers Club valued at $100, and $100 off Stress & Rescue course.
