Australian Diving Instruction

Located at Corio Quay Road in Norlane, Australian Diving Instruction (ADI) has been a cornerstone of the local diving community since 1984. The centre serves as a vital hub for divers in Geelong and across western Melbourne, providing both essential services and advanced training.

As a PADI 5 Star IDC centre, ADI is equipped to take you from your very first breath underwater through to professional instructor training. Whether you are looking to start your journey with a Discover Scuba Diving programme or are looking to advance your technical skills, the facility is built to support every stage of a diver's development.

The team at ADI consists of experienced instructors and divemasters dedicated to high-quality instruction. They cater to a diverse community, offering training in English, Chinese, and French to accommodate a wide range of divers.

Beyond recreational training, the centre is a hub for professional development, offering the Instructor Development Course (IDC) and Assistant Instructor training. Their commitment to the ocean is reflected in their status as a 100% AWARE Dive Centre, contributing to PADI AWARE foundation conservation efforts with every course taught.

The course catalogue at ADI is extensive, covering the full spectrum of PADI certifications. Beginners can start with the Bubblemaker Program, Junior Open Water Diver, or the Discover Scuba Diving experience. For those moving into more serious diving, they offer the Open Water Diver, Advanced Open Water Diver, and Rescue Diver courses.

Technical and specialty training is a core strength of the centre. You can enrol in courses such as PADI Deep Diver, Wreck Diver, Drift Diver, Sidemount Rec Diver, and Peak Performance Buoyancy. For those looking to advance into the technical realm, they offer Discover Tec, Tec Basics, and Advanced Rebreather Diver training, alongside various rebreather and sidemount specialties.

The centre is a ScubaPro authorised dealer and service centre, meaning you can access professional equipment servicing and high-quality kit on-site. They offer a full range of rental equipment for those who do not wish to carry their own rig.

For those managing their own gas, ADI provides air and Nitrox fills. The facility is also equipped to handle cylinder hydrostatic testing and general equipment maintenance to keep your kit in top condition.
