  • Sydney's best shore sites — Gordon's Bay, Clovelly, North Bondi, Bare Island, Little Bay, Kurnell, and Clifton Gardens — picked to match the day's conditions.
  • Small groups only: max five certified divers per guide, so you get more attention and more fun in the water.
  • Meet at Dive Centre Bondi (8am weekends, 9am weekdays) — we handle equipment and pick the site based on weather and conditions.
  • Two guided dives, back by around 3pm, at NSW's only PADI 5 Star Platinum dive centre.

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?
The guide and transportation. You can select any additional equipment rental during the booking process.
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.
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.
Can a friend or partner join for the day if they're not diving?
They're very welcome to meet us at the dive site, but unfortunately we don't have a spare seat in the vehicle for them.
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.
