Dive Sydney

Experience Total Scuba Diving Education.
Learning to scuba dive is safe, simple and affordable process.  All that's required is for you to participate in a Scuba Certification Course.

Australia requires that all open water scuba diving students complete a diving physical (one that conforms to Australian Standard AS 4005.1) as part of the certification course.  The cost of the physical is approximately $40 Australian, and is in addition to the cost of the certification course.

Upon completion of a scuba course, you'll receive an open water qualification that identifies you as a trained dive -- your "ticket" to dive with other certified divers, to rent gear, to get air fills, to receive advanced training, and to explore hundreds of exotic dive destinations.

Atlantis Dive Resort can assist you to achieve maximum enjoyment from the sport, and to help you reach your full potential as a scuba diver.  We offer a complete range of diving courses.  Each course is designed to expand your knowledge, improve your skills and techniques, and open up to you new and exciting areas of the sub-aquatic world.
