You will also need to be a Unidive member. When creating an account, some questions relate to experienced divers in these cases please answer as best as you can (e.g. when asked if you are certified diver, please answer no – for now!).

The club membership fee is included in your total cost of Open Water course. Please ensure that you complete all steps of member registration.
