Coastal Water Dive

So, a big congratulations post here, well overdue! Over the last 30 years of looking after local divers, we have employed some amazing staff! They know who they are. Some have gone on to become lawyers, dive shop owners, underwater photography specialists, teachers, parents, worked for NASA, worked for DAN, commercial divers, and now our latest two amazing staff - you'll all be familiar with Harrison and Oscar, our two baby team members who have left the nest to join the Navy and become elite clearance divers and officers! We must be doing something right! But seriously, all of these staff have been invaluable, and these two in particular are a credit to themselves and their parents. We have spots available for gap year students over 18, preferably, or even if you want a career in the industry, we can get you all the way to instructor or take the commercial diver route.

Well done Oscar and Harrison! (Caveman and Harry) we’ll see you at Christmas!

This is a really interesting read about learning to dive sidemount from our friends at Atmosphere Resorts & Spa.

Sidemount diving can be one of the more challenging equipment configurations (and humbling) to get dialed in, but its certainly worth it and has a lot of benefits once you do!

A proper sidemount course is recommended to take 2-3 days, with the first day almost being solely dedicated to getting the rigging set up for each individual diver.

If you have ever been curious about the benefits of sidemount, give this article a read or come into the shop for a chat!

Calling all local golfers!

We've been conducting clean up dives at some of our training sites and have been amassing a collection of golf balls.

Rather than letting them go to waste, if you're a keen golfer and want some free balls, pop into the shop during business hours this week and we'll give you a few to punt back into the lake (that's a joke, but if you do, we'll find them)
