    Amazing Course and Trainers

    Erin 17 July 2023

    The crew are super kind and fun, and the diving was great. Saw some massive gropers and they have wetsuits and everything you need. Would recommend anyone to do their course here.

    Best thing I have done - Padi open water scuba

    David 22 February 2022

    The PADI open water diver course provided by QLD scuba diving company (Instructor Scuba Steve) was simply amazing. I was happy to find out that we would be spending all 3 days diving in a spot that was in ocean water rather than a pool and that we would do a little theory each day and the rest at home later. this meant more time with the equipment and learning surrounded by amazing fish. The weather was perfect. They took care of everything, just turn up with PADI registration fee (can be eftpos) and swimming clothing and towel. we went on two long dives on the last day that will stick in my memory for a long time. The company as a whole was first class and scuba steve made it easy to learn the skills and has a remarkable amount of experience.

    Jack (instructor) and the team at QLD Scuba have been amazing. I would highly recommend doing this course as you’re diving every single day.

    Unforgettable experience. So much fun

    Danny 12 April 2021

    For anyone interested in learning to dive this is an absolute must. The guys at QSDC are amazing and made my experience so enjoyable that I will definitely be returning to do the rest of my courses. HUGE thanks to Jess, Halle, Jack, Connor and the rest of the team for helping me complete my Open Water course. :D

    Scuba diving PADI course

    I started the course today and I loved it. Friendly staff with a lot of knowledge. Good equipment as well.

    Best experience of my life.

    Daniel 3 September 2020

    What a 3 days it was. I went into day one thinking what have I got myself into. That feeling was very quickly laid to rest. By day two I was feeling quite comfortable in the water and the only thing I was finding hard was having to take the scuba mask off when I was under the water and having to put it back on. By the last day Everything felt like 2nd nature. I’m already looking at doing the next level of the license

    Amazing experience
