Three great reasons to learn to dive with Blue Dive
1. We have a policy of only taking a maximum of 5 on PADI Open Water Courses and Advanced Courses as it means we can give expert and individual attention to each student – it’s a bit like the small school classes issue. It’s much, much better for the learning to dive experience.
2. Secondly, we offer a free extra dive on the Open Water Course so instead of just 4 Open Water dives you will each get 5 great dives out on the pristine outer Great Barrier Reef.
3. Thirdly, we have a unique policy that if, for any reason, anyone wishes to cancel at the end of day one of the course we offer a refund of $300. No other dive centre in the area makes such a commitment.
And we now have an on-line option for the theory parts of the Open Water, Advanced, Rescue and Divemaster courses. This can be completed before you arrive saving you time on your well-deserved holiday. Click below for PADI Elearning.
Great private scuba diving day trips for qualified divers to the Agincourt Ribbon Reefs
On Poseidon we can take you on great private Scuba diving day trips up to the stunning Agincourt Ribbon Reefs north-east of Port Douglas.
You will have your own private Blue Dive guide who knows all the best and hidden areas of the reef. You’ll be diving away from the crowds.
Perfect for experienced divers and photographers as we can tailor the dives to suit your experience or requirements. Also an excellent option for those who may be a little nervous and and want the personal support of one of our expert instructors.
“By far the best way to see the reef”. Trip Advisor.
Poseidon also has a licence to swim with Minke whales that visit the area between May and August. It can be an incredible experience.

PADI courses all the way to Divemaster

Lake Eacham – Rainforest volcano diving option
We also offer fascinating and unusual day trips up to Lake Eacham; an extinct volcano and freshwater lake at 720m altitude up in the tropical rainforest in the Atherton Tablelands.
This trip is great for non- divers too. Please enquire for more details and price.
The lake is full of Red-Clawed Yabbies (small lobsters) and freshwater turtles.
Strange rock formations and fallen trees make it a memorable if unusual scuba dive… surfacing surrounded by a lush rainforest is some experience.
Great day trips, including a dive, where you get to see parts of Queensland away from the tourist trail.

Optional trip to Granite Gorge to see wild Rock Wallabies by the hundreds and swim in the gorge.
