Enjoy your experience! ----- So you'd like to explore the underwater world of the Great Barrier Reef. With an Introductory Dive (or sometimes known as a "Discover Dive" or "Resort Dive"), no previous experience is necessary, and you'll be able to experience the excitement of scuba diving whilst under the very close supervision of an instructor. The onboard and highly skilled dive instructors will take you step-by-step through the whole experience, from the dive briefing lecture, the equipment and the dive, to ensure all facets of your experience are comfortable and, most of all, enjoyable. On the outbound journey to the Reef, instructors assess the suitability of potential introductory divers, and you'll be required to complete the necessary paperwork, which includes a medical questionnaire. You'll be taught the fundamentals of scuba diving as well as the use of equipment. There's a video to watch and a quick quiz to complete. All equipment, including wetsuits and prescription masks (if required), are included in the introductory dive price. Once at the Reef, it's out to the dive deck and ready to gear up! Your instructor will make sure you're comfortable with the basic skills again, and you're ready for your underwater adventure! The Great Barrier Reef is more about shallow scuba diving, and your dive may take you as deep as 12 metres (40 feet). The instructor is by your side the whole time, and you can even link arms if you feel the need. Your dive experience will generally last around 30 minutes underwater. After your dive experience, you'll get a PADI Certificate as a memento of your underwater adventure. This certificate is not a qualification it is simply a memento of one of the best experiences of your life.
