Scuba Diving Port Douglas - The Great Barrier Reef
Carnaval in Port Douglas is always an awesome time of year to be here and in 2018, two of the crew from the 'Rouge' production which performed in the Wonderland Spiegeltent joined us for a day of diving at the Outer Barrier Reef.
With colder than usual water temperatures so far this year, the coral is flourishing and there is tremendous recovery from the widespread bleaching of 2015/2016.
If small dive groups and a private guide with a keen-eye are what you are looking for in your Great Barrier Reef trip, contact us to find out more!
See you soon!

Scuba Diving Port Douglas - Great Barrier Reef
Jackie & Dave graced us with their presence for a day of guided diving out at Agincourt Reef and we couldn't have asked for a better day. The reef at the moment is showing a great deal of recovery from the recent bleaching events and this quite often means a greater diversity of marine life can be seen.
Over the 3 dives we saw sharks, huge flowery cod, nudibranchs plus much more!
If you are interested in seeing some of the the finest coral reefs - even if you're not certified, then just let us know and we would be happy to organise a dive trip or course for you to visit this wonder of the natural world!

PADI Open Water course - Port Douglas
Hector & Samir (Mexico/UK) had never dived before but over the course of 3 days and a lot of hard work on their behalf, they came out the other side as awesome divers, earning their PADI Open Water licence in the process.
Over the 2 days on the Great Barrier Reef, we visited Agincourt & Opal Reef with the footage shot on the second day once all of the training was completed and we took them on 2 extra guided dives.
We had an awesome time and sounds like we will be seeing them back here next year for the PADI Advanced Open Water course!
Enhorabuena!

In February 2018, we were joined by Kaye from the UK.
Having already completed the theory and pool for her PADI Open Water licence, Kaye had a referral to us to undertake the final open water dives for certifcation.
From the moment she got in the water, we could see that Kaye was a total natural and from that point we enjoyed two days of diving under great conditions at the Outer Great Barrier Reef!
Well done Kaye and all the best for the rest of your trip!

Scuba Diving Port Douglas - PADI open water course
Rochelle from Canada and Meleta teamed-up as 2 of the best dive buddies we've ever seen, as they spent 3 days with us, earning their PADI Open Water licence.

We like to make the Open Water course serious fun and love nothing more than being able to welcome new divers into our great big worldwide dive family. If this is what you are looking for then send us an e-mail or give us a call - see you underwater!
