Want to learn to dive in Cairns, the home of the Great Barrier Reef? With world class instructors and a five-star dive school, this is a convenient and affordable PADI Open Water Diver course.

You’ll have two days of pool training at our Cairns learn to dive facility, as well as two memorable day trips to the outer Great Barrier Reef. These day trips are the perfect place to enhance your skills at two stunning reef sites with colourful and abundant marine wildlife.

After your four certification dives, you generally also have time for an additional ‘fun dive’ (time permitting). Choose to complete your Cairns learn to dive course in the warm tropical waters and diverse surroundings of the Great Barrier Reef.

Choose to start your course on a Thursday and finish on Sunday, or split it over two consecutive weekends.

Courses are conducted in English. Courses in other languages (German, Japanese and Chinese) are available on request only.

To book, select “All Day – Available” on the booking form.
