PADI Diving Courses

Scubaroo Dive offers a range of PADI courses under the instruction of Scubaroo owner, Geoffrey Herbert (PADI Master Scuba Dive Trainer). Course numbers are specifically kept between 4 and 6 students so that we can give you the level of instruction and attention you deserve.

Before undertaking a Scubaroo Dive course, a dive medical to Australian Standards is required. You will need to ensure it is done prior to your arrival (there are no facilities in Onslow to obtain this), as well as providing three passport photographs of yourself.
