Introductory Diving - Discover Scuba Diving

If you've never tried scuba diving before and do not have the time to do a full blown course, why not try diving on one of our day or overnight trips?

Introductory diving requires no previous diving experience. If you are able to swim, you can usually dive. The only requirement is that you are 12 years old or more and you will be asked to fill out some paperwork, including a medical statement. (Click here for more information on the medical).

Whilst you are on your way to the Great Barrier reef you will be given a briefing outlining what is involved (usually about 45 minutes). This briefing will outline the procedures that will make your experience a safe and unforgettable one (the diving skills, the communication under water, some explanation about the marine wildlife).

On your arrival at the reef, you will start by practicing with your equipment on the surface. Once you are comfortable with those skills, you practice them again, this time below the surface (only a few feet).
Finally when you feel comfortable, it's time to dive. Relax and enjoy!!!

The supervision by our highly qualified dive instructors is very close at all times, there will be a maximum of 4 divers with 1 instructor. You will go to a maximum depth of 12 m (40ft) and these dives generally last around 1/2 hour.
During the dive you can expect to see the Great Barrier Reef in all its glory - You will discover excitement and adventure - freedom and serenity. Nothing compares to the "weightless" exhilaration of breathing underwater.
 
Introductory diving is offered on our day boat, and now as a liveaboard package!
