Professional divers can enrol in the Divemaster Program, while those needing to refresh their skills can take a Refresher/Scuba Review or an Adventure dive. The centre also offers the React Right course to enhance safety skills.

The centre operates private charter dive boats that can accommodate between 4 and 10 individuals. These vessels allow for more personalised trips, making them ideal for small groups or those wanting a more tailored diving itinerary.

Nitrox is available for use on these trips, and the boats are used for a variety of dive types, including night diving. Refreshments are provided on board during fun dives to ensure a comfortable experience between descents.

For those opting for fun dives, full equipment hire is included, covering the essential kit needed for your dives. This allows divers to travel light without needing to transport their own heavy gear.

Nitrox is available on-site for those looking to extend their bottom times or upgrade their training. The centre is well-equipped to handle both recreational and advanced training requirements.
