Scuba Diving is a unique experience that allows you to explore places that only a handful of human beings have laid eyes on, and with 72% of the world being underwater, your Open Water SSI Diving Certification is your license to explore it.
A Scuba Diving Course is for fun loving individuals that crave adventure and social sporting activities. Meet new friends and enjoy the freedom of gliding through the blue!
Take a scuba diving course in Mooloolaba and in your new serene weightless environment you will be enthralled by undersea caverns, swim with schools of beautiful fish, marvel at the beauty of turtles, and enjoy the peace and tranquility of the ocean. Come and join the many people learning to dive on the Sunshine Coast who have made diving their life time passion.
Learn to scuba dive and explore some of the best diving sights that the Sunshine Coast has to offer. In summer you’ll have the opportunity to see beautiful coral reefs, turtles and the masses of tropical fish while enjoying 26°C plus water temperatures. From May to October you will have the opportunity to witness the spectacle of the migrating humpback whales. This is a must!
