"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
"I had an awesome dive with Aquanaut last weekend at North Stradbroke Island. Shane was brilliantly organised and I felt completely safe. Having been nervous on my last couple of dives elsewhere, Shane put my mind at ease so I could just enjoy it. We saw Manta Rays, turtles, and so many beautiful fish. Highly recommend Aquanaut."

"This is my second course with Shane, having done Nitrox with him as well. I can not rate Shane highly enough his attention to detail, but casual teaching creates an easy environment to learn, yet ensures that you learn and practice the right way."
