Learn To Dive Courses

If you want to Learn to Dive in Cairns; there are courses available from 3, 4 or 5 days duration which will give you a PADI or SSI Open Water Dive Certification. Normally the courses entail 2 days of pool and theory (learning in the classroom and pool) and then 2 to 3 days out on the Great Barrier Reef living aboard a dive boat (liveaboard Learn to Dive Courses ) or by doing two separate day trips to the Great Barrier Reef (for non liveaboard Learn to Dive Courses).

The 5 Day Learn to Dive Course involves 2 days Pool and Classroom Training (theory on land) at the dive operator’s dive training facilities and will include a 3 day 2 night liveaboard component out on the Great Barrier.

The shorter 4 Day Learn to Dive Courses with Liveaboard sector involve 2 days Pool and Classroom Training and then from there you will head out the Great Barrier Reef aboard a fast transfer vessel to be boarded on to your liveaboard vessel where you will spend 2 Days and 1 Night onboard.

For those who do not wish to overnight on the Great Barrier Reef there are non liveaboard learn to dive courses which are conducted over a period of 4 days. Your course will still involve 2 Days Pool and Classroom Training on land but instead of heading out to the Great Barrier Reef to stay and overnight on a liveaboard dive vessel, you will participate in 2 separate day trips to the Great Barrier Reef to do the practical side of your Dive Certification.

For those who are short on time, one can participate in a No School Scuba Dive Course whilst living onboard a Dive Vessel on the Outer Barrier Reef. The No School Scuba Certification Course is an SSI Course that will see you do your theory work and Dive Training out on the liveaboard vessel on the Outer Barrier Reef.
