Things to note
- You will not be able to dive if you are flying within 12 hours (after one dive) or 18 hours (after 2 dives).
- A medical questionnaire must be passed to allow participation in Introductory Diving (PADI Discover Scuba Diving) . This questionnaire can be downloaded here. If you have any pre-existing medical conditions indicated on the questionnaire or are taking prescribed medications, then it is recommended that you complete a diving medical prior to boarding. This medical must be completed by a doctor familiar with dive practices and in compliance with Australian standards AS4005.1. You can download this document here.
- The main non-medical issue that will prevent you from diving is pregnancy.
- Tusa Dive will not charge you for any 'unused' dives, whether for medical reasons or other.
INTRODUCTORY DIVE CAIRNS
Make your reef trip the ultimate experience, and take an 'Intro dive'. An 'Intro Dive' or Introductory Dive, is by it's true name, a PADI Discover Scuba Course. You do not need to have any experience to participate in the Discover Scuba Course, and all tuition is undertaken on board TUSA 6. You do however need to be at least 12 years old, and be able to pass a medical questionnaire when you board the boat in the morning.
After your briefing and once at the reef, you will be diving right off the back of the boat, at the same sites as the certified divers to maximum of 10 metres depth. You will have the most experienced instructors by your side, and a maximum of three other 'intro' divers. You can expect your dive to last between 20 and 35 minutes, and give you a whole new perspective of the world of fish!
You have the opportunity of a second dive at the day's second reef location, as well as a couple of hours between your dives for snorkelling.
