Boat Diver
The anchor chain clatters and engines drone down and sputter silent; you've arrived. For this dive, there's no long surface swim or entries through surf because you're only directly above the dive site. You enter the water, and in moments, you and your buddy descend to the site. Experiences like these attract divers to boat diving; in fact, virtually all divers end up diving from a boat sooner or later.
Swansea and the Newcastle area have some great places for boat diving, with numerous fantastic wrecks and reefs. Moon Island, a five minute boat ride from Aqua Zero offers many great dive sites that leave divers wanting more.
The Boat Diver course includes two boat dives which can be completed on one day. To enroll you must be at least 12 years old and certified as PADI Junior Open Water or above. The course covers topics including:
