Whether you have never dived before, or if you are looking at furthering your diving education, there is a variety of courses to suit every level. No previous experience is necessary. Non-English speaking courses are also available.
Learn To Dive – Open water
4 days is all it takes to become a certified diver, which will give you a licence to enjoy your new-found sport anywhere in the world. However, to really gain the maximum confidence and understanding, the 5 day course is the more popular choice. The 5 day course will have you doing up to 11 dives, including a night dive.
Days 1 and 2 of all courses is spent in Cairns with your instructor, who will teach you, via classroom presentations and lectures, the theory of scuba diving. Then it’s off to one of the pool training complexes, where you will begin to master your new skills.
Days 3, 4 and/or 5 are spent diving the reef. For the budget courses, these are day trips, but for slightly more expensive courses, they are liveaboard trips. As few as 4 training dives (which are completed by day 4) will qualify you as a certified diver. From then on, you are able to enjoy the remainder of your dives as a recreational diver. For the overnighters, you will also have your first opportunity for a night dive.
