Undersea Explorer encourages adventure diving in relation to your level of certification and experience. We offer a range of courses conducted onboard the vessel as follows:

Divers who have not dived during the 6 months prior to the expedition, or inexperienced divers, are recommended to undertake a refresher course. This is conducted by our instructor during your first dive to ensure that you will dive safely, and gain maximum enjoyment from your dives

If you wish to join our night dives or deep dives (and are not an advanced diver) it is suggested that you expand your skills and qualifications by doing a PADI advanced course.

The Reef Discovery Course takes form via a series of presentations each day during Undersea Explorer Expeditions. Up-to-date information is provided by onboard researchers and interpreted by our marine biologist. Each passenger has a Reef Discovery Manual for their reference during the trip and upon completion of the course an optional GBRMPA certificate can be awarded for the cost of $10.

Based on the per person twin share rate - 10 paying passengers receives the 11th passenger free of charge.
