FAQ’s

We generally run a number of Open Water courses throughout the year. Further education courses such as Advanced, Rescue, Deep and Wreck are run on a on-demand basis. If you are interested in any course, let us know by emailing info@divelatrobe.org.au.

The best place to look is on the SPUMS website. Dive Medical’s can vary greatly in cost, so we recommend you call around prior to making an appointment.

If you are undertaking your Open Water course, you will need to provide Dive La Trobe with a Dive Medical dated in the last 12 months. If you are undertaking a further education course, a PADI medical statement will be required, with no “Yes” responses to any question. If you do have a “Yes” response, a full Dive Medical will be required.

Dive La Trobe does not offer pro-rata memberships. Memberships run from the 1st of January through to the 31st of December each year. No matter what point you sign up during the year, your membership will expire on the 31st of December.

Dive La Trobe is primarily a University dive club, catering to students, staff and alumni. Whilst we do have a small number of non-Latrobe community members, their membership fees are higher due to the subsidy students already contribute through their University fees.
