Dive center

At Ningaloo Reef Dive our aim is to provide you a unique experience within one of the worlds most amazing natural environments; The Ningaloo Reef Marine Park. The diversity of the Ningaloo Reef provides us the opportunity to offer you a range of experiences unlike any other travel destination on earth.

Among the hundreds of varieties of reef fish and hard corals that make the reef their home, the waters off Coral Bay are home to a year round population of manta rays, green turtles, bottlenose dolphins, dugong, and reef sharks - to name a few.

The annual coral spawning during March/April announces the arrival of our most awesome visitors; whale sharks. The biggest fish in the ocean (believed to grow up to 18 metres in length) appear every year on the Ningaloo Reef to feed on dense populations of plankton which thrive on the movement of warm tropical waters to the area brought by the Leeuwin current. By the end of June they have moved on as mysteriously as they arrived.

As whale shark season is winding down we begin to have sightings of Humpback whales on their annual northern migration along the fringes of the Ningaloo Reef, other whale species, such as minke, and even blue whales have been known to frequent the waters off Coral Bay right through to November each year. Female Green, Loggerhead and Hawksbill turtles return to the beaches where they were born to lay their eggs, and we begin to see them as the season for whales is coming to an end.

What to expect

This is the eLearning version of the PADI Open Water Diver course. It means you spend time at home learning rather than in-location, which makes it great if you have limited time. The course consists of three main phases. The first is Knowledge Development, which covers everything you need to know about basic techniques, terminology and safety procedures in scuba diving. You'll complete this digitally using PADI's eLearning system. The second is Confined Water Dives, which are training sessions conducted in a pool or water with pool-like conditions. They give you the opportunity to get used to the gear you'll be using and practice the basic skills of diving and techniques to keep you safe. The third is your Open Water Dives. This is what it's all about - you'll make your first dives in the ocean! During four dives, you'll perform various skills under water and on the surface to make sure you're a safe and competent diver. The training portion usually only takes up the first part of the dive, meaning that you will get to spend a big part of your time diving with your instructor and exploring the underwater world. As soon as your open water training dives are approved by your instructor you will be certified as a PADI Open Water Diver! This means you will be allowed to rent diving equipment and dive anywhere in the world down to 18 meters, lifelong!
