time to do a full blown course, why not try diving on one
of our day trips?
Introductory

You may
also do up to 3 introductory dives on the transfer vessel
if you are participating in our liveaboard snorkel trips on
board:
What's involved?
Introductory
diving requires no previous diving experience. If you are
able to swim, you can usually dive. 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 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.
On arrival
at the reef, you will start by practising with your equipment
on the surface. Once you and your instructor are comfortable
with those skills, you practice them again, this time below
the surface (only a few feet).
Finally
when you and your instructor feel comfortable it's time
to dive!!! As a resort diver there will be a maximum
of 4 divers with 1 instructor. The supervision
is very close at all times. 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.
Only
a diver knows the feeling!
