Certified GUIDED SHORE DIVES

Please do not book air travel until 24 hours after your dive has finished.

Please bring swimwear, towel, sun protection (and wet- weather protection/warm clothes if necessary)

• You will walk from the dive shop across to our local shore dive site. Please bring footwear.

• Food/ drinks are not provided during this experience.

This will range and vary, but typically we like to take no more than 4-5 certified divers to avoid overcrowding the dive site and ensure good supervision.

We are unable to guarantee a particular dive site ahead of time. The instructor/ dive guide leading the dive will select the dive site which offers the best experience for the group. This will be determined on the morning of the dive.

Dive sites are within walking distance from the dive shop. Check out our dive sites page.

Alma Bay

• 7 minutes walking distance from dive shop

• Gradual sloping sandy bay

• Left hand side vs right hand side

• Max depth: 6m-8m

Absolutely! We have no minimum participant requirement for this experience, so you can book as a solo without any issues.

Yes, they can! They can rent snorkel gear from Pleasure Divers and accompany you to the dive site. While you're underwater with your guide, they are welcome to snorkel independently.

For more details, please see our Snorkel Hire page.

They will need to book a separate Introductory Dive experience for $200. If you’d all like to dive together as a group, including both certified and introductory divers, we offer a Private Experience for $800, accommodating up to 4 family members.

Our pricing is structured around operational costs and reflects staff time/wages. The included gear rental is an added bonus!

Divers with a complete set of their own gear do have the option of diving unguided. Renting a tank for an unguided dive is a budget-friendly way to enjoy your underwater experience. Ensure you have a dive buddy.

See our Scuba Hire page for more details.

All of our diving is weather dependent. We want to show you the very best of Magnetic Islands reef systems!

The dive may be cancelled if participant safety is compromised by poor diving conditions or if the experience will be less than ideal

In this case, we may be able to offer an alternative such as an SSI Specialty course (eg/ Perfect Buoyancy conducted in our on-site pool), if that interests you.

We endeavour to give as much notice of cancellation as possible, however, predicting the weather is difficult and cancellation may occur at last minute.

If you booked your Cert Dive through an agent, please contact your agent to receive your full refund.

Refunds of your deposit are available with the appropriate amount of notice.

• 48 hours or more notice = full refund (we return full deposit)

• 48hours or less notice = no refund (we keep deposit)

Please note that Pleasure Divers is not paid by the agent until post-activity.

So check your agent’s policy documents/ tickets for information about their refund procedures. Often agents will keep your deposit as credit for another bookable experience in their database.

If your scuba dive is proceeding and you are not attending, agents may charge a cancellation fee (even if the instance is out of your control).

We recommend that you obtain travel insurance to protect against such instances.
