"I had my 3rd Straddy strip with Aquanaut this weekend, and as usual it was such an awesome day out! Plenty of grey nurse sharks, a few cheeky Japanese Devil Ray’s, a sleepy turtle, a pod of whales listening singing to us the whole time, and oh-so-many of dad jokes. Great day out, highly recommended!"

Katie Langley

"Completed my open water course with Shane who is very knowledgeable, professional and loves a good dad joke. Also he was able to take a fairly complex subject and make it easily digestible for someone like myself who prefers hands on learning, in my opinion this it what makes a great instructor. If you are looking to do any Scuba courses I highly recommend you get in contact"

Josh S.

"We loved our open water course! Shane was an excellent instructor - enthusiastic, knowledgeable and patient. His equipment was fantastic and the structure of the course suited us perfectly. Got us completely hooked on diving. On to our advanced course next!"
