Frequently Asked Questions
Find quick answers to the most common questions about our courses, scheduling, prerequisites, and gear.
How do I book a dive?
Pick a date on the booking widget, complete the form, and you'll receive a confirmation email.
What's included in the price?
Everything is included in the price. From rental equipment to transportation.
Do I need certification?
Yes — all our dives require Open Water (or higher) certification. Bring your card and logbook on the day.
What if conditions aren't safe?
We monitor conditions daily. If the dive can't go ahead safely, we'll reschedule at no cost.
What if I need to reschedule?
Rescheduling is free as long as it's more than 72 hours before your dive. Inside 72 hours there's a $50 transfer fee.
Can a friend or partner join for the day if they're not diving?
Yes — they're welcome to join the trip for a transport fee, as long as there's a seat available in the vehicle. Give us a call ahead of the trip so we can arrange it.
Are the sharks dangerous?
Not at all. These are grey nurse sharks — they look imposing, but they're slow-moving, docile and completely harmless to divers. They feed on small fish and have no interest in people. Divers have been swimming alongside them here for decades, and seeing one up close is the reason most people book this trip.
I want to do this privately, or with just my friends — can that be done?
Yes! We run private dives and tours for individuals and groups when the scheduled dates don't line up with your availability. Get in touch and we'll arrange one for you.
Where will we dive?
This depends on the conditions on the day. We always pick the best and safest site for the swell, wind and visibility at the time, and we'll confirm where we're heading on the morning.
Where should we park?
Ocean Street North is your best bet — free parking all day, a short walk from the dive centre. From there you can either come with us to the dive site or take your own car.
Can I use my own vehicle?
Definitely. Meet us at the dive centre to get fitted for your equipment — we'll transport it to the site and back for you. If you drive yourself you can head off straight from the dive site instead of coming back to the centre for the clean-up.
Should I come earlier to try on the equipment?
No need. The start time is the time we want you at the dive centre — fitting your equipment is already built into it.
I don't have a dive buddy — is that okay?
Absolutely. We'll pair you with another diver in the group or with the instructor running the session. Coming on your own is completely normal here.
I don't have any equipment — can I still join?
Yes. We have a big range of scuba equipment available for you to use.
