Further Instruction - SSI Specialty Diving Courses

Lionfish

All Scuba Store specialty diving courses involve home study, short academic sessions to review your knowledge, and open water dives. All courses include air fills and most equipment.

Open water sessions for all courses are run on the South Coast of NSW around Ulladulla and Bawley Point. A number of our courses are combined for an enjoyable weekend away, rather than a rush to the coast and back. The Scuba Store has accommodation available for course participants, if required, for a small additional charge. Participants need to arrange their own travel.

To book a scheduled course, inquire about additional courses, or simply to find out more information, drop into Straight Line at 7 Lonsdale Street Braddon, call on (02) 6257 7566, or email info@straightline.com.au.
