Description

Come and learn how to scuba dive with Dive HQ! The team will get you equipped with scuba gear (goggles, flippers, vest, tanks and breathing apparatus) before teaching you the foundation of scuba diving that will help you search for items underwater.

Suitable for adults and children aged 10yrs+. Participants must be competent swimmers.

Sessions are 1-hour long and your tickets include general pool swimming before or after your scuba session.

Please wear togs, a rashie or a t-shirt (this helps the vest sit comfortably) or a wetsuit.

If you miss out, jump on our waitlist and we'll email you if a ticket comes available.
