WHO CAN DIVE THE SS YONGALA?

Open Water DiverS

If you hold an entry-level Open Water certification with a maximum depth of 18 metres, you cannot dive the S.S. Yongala on your Open Water certification alone. To participate in our SS Yongala Trip, you will need to complete the PADI Deep Adventure Dive with one of our PADI Instructors.

What an Open Water Diver needs:

✔ PADI Deep Adventure Dive Training: $50

• You will complete the PADI Deep Adventure Dive with a Yongala Dive Instructor.

• The Deep Adventure Dive is completed as the first dive of your SS Yongala dive trip. It consists of being guided by an instructor to the maximum depth (28m) of the wreck, where you will complete three deep diving exercises with the diver.

• Yongala Dive will provide a PADI training record to enable this dive to count toward your future PADI Advanced Open Water Diver certification.

✔ PADI eLearning: $200

• You must purchase the required PADI eLearning before completing the Deep Adventure Dive.

• PADI eLearning purchased through Yongala Dive: $200 (recommended)

• You can also purchase the eLearning directly from PADI for $265. If purchasing directly through PADI, please select Yongala Dive as your affiliated dive shop.

• The PADI eLearning you purchase for the Deep Adventure Dive is also the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course material. That means you do not need to purchase the eLearning again if you decide to complete your Advanced Open Water certification in the future.
