Course Overview

Day 2 – Shore Diving (2 Dives)
We’ll head to one of our local shore dive sites, where you’ll put your pool skills into practice in the open ocean. You’ll continue building confidence as you review key techniques, learn a few new ones, and begin exploring the Pilbara’s vibrant marine life up close.
