Coaching

Please note: Diving Australia has begun a full review and redevelopment of it's coaching framework, accreditation system and education material. The main portion of this process will be broken down into incremental phases and take place between 2024 - 2025, with further work at the higher accreditation levels taking place beyond 2025. During this period, coaching courses will continue to run in their current format, until such time that they are replaced by an updated version.
