Friendly, personalised service, combined with the warm tropical waters of the Great Barrier Reef, are the perfect combination for some of the very best PADI Open Water and courses available. These courses all offer overnight accommodation on the Great Barrier Reef. Choose to conmplete your PADI dive course in 4, 5 or 6 days.

 

 

Courses start everyday with Japanese launguage courses starting on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. A Korean language course starts every friday.

They also offer a Budget 4 day Open Water Course, where you do daytrips rather than spend the night at sea.

Referral Course 

A referral course means that the pool and classroom part of the course has been completed before arriving in Cairns. We accept referrals from PADI (the Professional Association of Diving Instructors) stores and instructors worldwide. Referral paperwork needs to be signed off by the initiating instructor and have been done within the last 12 months.

4 Day PADI Open Water Course

• Two classroom days 
• 1 night liveaboard on OceanQuest
• 4 training dives
• 1 fun dive
• All meals while at Sea

The 4 day Liveaboard option is designed for the traveller who is short of time and wants to learn to dive in 4 days and get the opportunity to spend the night on the reef.

On completion of your 4 certification dives you will get the opportunity to do one 'fun dive' (time permitting). If you wish to do more dives immediately after your course and experience the thrill of a night dive, choose the 5 day option.
