We teach the full range of PADI scuba dive courses from beginner to professional and have regular Try Dive sessions.

Scuba Dive Holidays

Our next international adventure is in July 2012 to the Yasawa Islands in Fiji where we will be diving with manta rays. 

In April we had an amazing week diving with bull sharks in Beqa Lagoon, Fiji.  Each of our 10 dives was amazing, with up to 50 large bull sharks joining us during the shark dives and also getting a chance to visit two wrecks and some amazing coral features. We stayed in an amazing resort on the waterfront, the local dive company picked us up at the jetty each morning with our gear ready to go, and took us to their favourite sites. The visibility was amazing and the marine life spectacular, not to mention the 29.5 ^oC water! Check out our underwater photos and videos on Youtube.
