'Scuba Diving in Australia / the Great Barrier Reef'

Australia Scuba Diving is managed by two Australian scuba divers Rick and Bernie (G'day...G'day), who together have over 50 years dive experience.   We are both NAUI Instructors and Course Directors, and Rick is also a PADI Dive Instructor.  We've lived and taught scuba diving in Cairns, and are familiar with Great Barrier Reef dive sites from Lizard Island down to the Whitsunday Islands.  We also have extensive experience diving throughout the rest of Australia, and New Zealand, and can assist you with a dive trip anywhere in the South Pacific. Diving in Australia and on the Great Barrier Reef is an experience most divers have dreamed about, but few take the opportunity.  The Australian portion of the reef extending from Lizard Island above Port Douglas down through the Whitsunday Islands offers some of the most beautiful dive sites in the world. Australia Scuba Diving is for already certified scuba divers and snorkelers, the links on this page take you to recommended dive companies for live-aboards and day trips.  For those who want to learn to dive, finish the sea dives as part of your course, or to up-grade their current diving certification while on holiday, those same links take you to dive shops that teach diving and are geared to accommodate holiday schedules.  If you don't find what you're looking for or if you need assistance with scheduling and reservations, please don't hesitate to ask us any questions.  We're here to help you see -- and dive -- the very best the reef has to offer. Whether novice to scuba diving or highly experienced.....or somewhere in between, Australia and the Great Barrier Reef has much to offer.   And much to offer the snorkeler too!  So, if you're a diver and are looking toward Aus -- or if you're not but are keen to know just what these waters and the Great Barrier Reef have to offer, we invite you to travel around the site and take a look what our experiences have gathered.
