Single Fun Dive

You're certified. You know what you're after. We'll take you to the right reef at the right time, with a guide who's dived it a hundred times. One dive or ten — your pace, our water.

$55 / person

Schedule

Your dive runs approximately 2 hours from your scheduled start time.

Boat dives for divers who already have a card. Small groups, a guide who knows which site is working that day, and reefs on both coasts that stay interesting well past your first tank. Come for a single afternoon dive or settle in for a package and let the week disappear underwater. Your guide reads the conditions and picks the site — you just dive it.

What’s included

  • Full equipment — mask, fins, wetsuit, BCD and tank
  • An experienced instructor or guide
  • Drinking water at the centre, plus tea and snacks after

Not included

  • GoPro photos and video (not included on fun dives)
  • DAN dive insurance (recommended)
  • Tuk tuk pick-up beyond the free 5 km zone

Good to know

Open Water certification (or equivalent) required — this is a boat dive for certified divers.

Highlights
  • Dive small — never a cattle-boat crowd.
  • Choose your load — one dive, two, or a multi-day package.
  • See real reef life: turtles, reef fish, and the occasional ray.
  • Bring your own gear and take $5 off.
Requirements
  • Open Water certification (or equivalent) required — this is a boat dive for certified divers, not a first-timer experience (for that, see a Discover Scuba Dive).
  • Minimum age 10.
  • A diver medical questionnaire is required — you complete it during booking. A “yes” to any question means a physician must sign the medical form (bring the signed form on Day 1).
  • Scuba Refresh may apply (auto, +$20/diver): if it’s been a while or your logged dives are few, we add a short refresh before you dive. The instructor always has the final say on site.
Programme & duration

One dive, afternoon start (around 14:00). Plan on 3–4 hours door-to-door, including briefing, the dive(s) and the boat back.

Medical, flight & insurance

Most people answer “no” to every question on the diver medical questionnaire and are cleared to dive. A “yes” to any question means a physician must sign the medical form confirming you’re fit to dive — bring the signed form with you on Day 1.

Planning to fly after diving? PADI and DAN recommend waiting at least 12 hours after a single dive, 18 hours after multiple dives, and ideally 24 hours for complete peace of mind.

We recommend DAN Europe (Divers Alert Network) dive insurance — recommended, not required, and no sign-up is needed to book. Dive safe, dive insured — get covered with DAN →

What to bring
  • Swimwear
  • Towel
  • Biodegradable sunscreen
  • Your certification card
  • Your logbook, if you keep one
Meeting & pick-up
  • Arrive 30 minutes before your start time — for registration, briefing and equipment fitting.
  • Our centre is right on the beach — most accommodation is a short walk or tuk tuk away. There is no tuk tuk pick-up service on the east coast.
  • Your confirmation email carries the exact meeting point and time.
Who it’s for

For: Certified divers wanting reef time.

Not for: Never-dived beginners — start with a Discover Scuba Dive.

Dive sites & marine life

Reef sites around Pigeon Island (5–20 m); deeper sites around 6 km south (to 30 m). You’ll likely see blacktip reef sharks in the shallows, schooling barracuda, trevally, turtles, moray eels and octopus.
