Hey mate, If you are after free diving i have been to Rapid bay. Calm conditions is a must. The sea dragons and squid were fascinating to watch in the shallower water, while various other fish species make an appearance. :f If you are diving with a tank i have been hearing of a reef a little bit out from Second Valley.. Hopefully someone else can elaborate further as i am also starting to sort diving schools.Cheers, S121.

Can't help with locations.Just wanted to say that whatever you do, get some formal training. I've been a professional/military diver, life support technician and hyperbaric chamber supervisor for my entire working life, currently working at the RAH Hyperbaric Unit. I'm getting tired of reading fatality reports of people with inadequate training drowning in shallow water while snorkelling.Just a friendly word of caution as part of my community safet role.CheersWahoo

Hi DelI'd prefer not to voice an opinion, I have a bias toward PADI, but only because I know the CEO in the states and the Australian VP in charge of training. Both PADI & SSI run good training programs and also run good audit trails to ensure standards are kept up.Enjoy your course
