New or just visiting the area? Qualified
overseas or need a refresher? We can provide complete dive
guiding or refresher services. We'll be your buddy, run through
some skills, provide advice and/or accompany you while you
and a buddy build your diving confidence.
Many people complete their dive course,
get certified but still prefer to dive with someone with a
bit more experience. This is also a great time to consider
some specialty qualifications while being accompanied by a
trained professional.
Once you're qualified and confident, we'll
buddy you up with others with similar interests and complementary
styles of diving. Go to dive buddies
database...
You'll have a fantastic time learning to
dive, you'll meet new people and catch the 'bug'. Let us help
you keep diving and develop a group of buddies you'll enjoy
diving with on an ongoing basis.
Do you have trouble clearing or removing
your mask? Or are you struggling with mastering the amount
of air to put in your BCD
to fin-pivot!?
We can help you by providing one-to-one lessons, a calm, unhurried,
friendly environment and infinite patience. We have an excellent
success rate and a big bag of tricks to help anyone who finds
learning to dive a challenge.
Don't miss out, diving skills can easily
be mastered with some professional help and your own determination.
It is definitely worth persevering and the pay-off is the
achievement of mastering a new sport and enjoying the extraordinary
wonder of the underwater world.
We can help advise you about ongoing diver
education. As well as teaching specialist areas such as underwater
photography, wreck diving, deep diving and others. We have
qualifications under the Handicapped Scuba Association to
teach disabled people to dive and under DAN to teach oxygen
instruction.
In addition to the basic PADI Open Water
diver course and many specialty scuba diving courses, we can
mentor and coach individuals looking at going professional
in the sport. Talk to us about on-going training including
the Divemaster program.
In our opinion there is no greater pleasure
for those with a passion for scuba diving than becoming a
Divemaster. This opens whole new avenues and opportunities
for you, become a dive guide, work your way around the world
and achieve hero status in the eyes of newly converted scuba
junkies!
