Just found this awesome deal… Snorkel Safari at Swansea NSW are offering free Open Water and Nitrox Certifications as part of the Government funding currently out there. The only requirement for it being free is that you don't have any existing diving certification.

You may have to buy some gear i.e. Mask, Snorkel and Fins… though I believe the shop provides the rest for training.

Call Jess at the shop if you have any questions.

    Not sure if correct. I originally called the store to see if I could do just the Nitrox element. They told me the only requirement was no existing certifications, nothing about being unemployed.

        I was thinking of doing this with my son ( 12 ) as a preparation for snorkelling with Hookas.

  Taking education funds rorting to a whole new level.

  At least Divemaster/Instructor qualifications are proper professional courses that may potentially lead to a paying job

  Spewing, I would have liked to do just the nitrox component too.

    Various depending on the company and if they have sales. I did my Open Water for about $150, though that was a Groupon deal.

    Nitro course is around $160 on Groupons.
