Introductory Scuba Diving

Our crew have a reputation for turning visitors frightened and nervous into raving fans of the Great Barrier Reef through our introductory dive program. Many people tell us it is the most amazing experience of their life! Introductory diving is available at Green Island on Ocean Free and at Upolu Cay on Ocean Freedom.

Introductory scuba diving is diving for which you require absolutely no previous experience — you don’t even need to know how to swim!!

All you have to is breathe and look at the fish — now we’d imagine that you can do that!!

Obviously there is slightly more to do than that, but not much. Our experienced dive instructors will give you a comprehensive dive brief regarding the equipment, hand signals, diving procedures and answer any questions you may have enroute to the reef.

You will be required to fill out a dive medical questionnaire (supplied on the boat) to ensure that you have no medical problems that are contraindicated to diving. Certain medical conditions may stop you from diving, and if you are uncertain if this will affect you please enquire when you make your reservation.

On arrival at the reef you are put into small introductory diver groups. The maximum group size on Ocean Free is 3 divers per instructor; 2 divers per instructor if you are a bit nervous and if you’re absolutely terrified we will even offer you 1:1 instruction!! The only company to offer such small numbers as well as friendly personalised instruction.

Once in the water and comfortable you will slowly descend into a beautiful coral garden 3-5m below. The instructor will have a hold of you the entire time so you can enjoy the whole experience safely.

Now if you’re still uncertain Ocean Free/Freedom policy allows you to try the dive and if you don’t like it you get out and don’t pay a cent. Now that’s an offer you can’t refuse!

Come and give it a go — you won’t be disappointed!

Happy diver
