If you want to learn to dive, excel your skills or just enjoy the wonders of the ocean from the bottom, you must dive with Beneath the Bay!Tom was an amazing instructor that made you feel comfortable from start to finish. Mick and Tammy are amazing hosts that will ensure your gear is top notch, up to date and fits perfectly.All of which went above and beyond to ensure that even with weather delaying our dives, a suitable date to finish the course was offered right away. Not only that, you get PADI Certified which means you can dive pretty much anywhere in the world!!! What more can you ask for?!?!

Beneath the Bay made my experience of becoming open water certified so special and amazing. The communication and friendliness would be unmatched to anywhere I’ve been before. I was going on a holiday and wanted to get my certification as soon as possible and they went out of their way to make that happen. Tom my instructors was amazing and the best you could ask for.Highly recommend Beneath the Bay !

Such an awesome day with the crew from Beneath the Bay! Everyone was just so happy to be there, staff very attentive and patient. Good quality dive gear also noted, lots of time to set up your gear/eat & drink/get your bearings back on the boat. Highly recommend, hope to be back again :)

Very impressed with how this crew operates. My tank fell out at the surface…..not a problem. I was helped to get BC and tank off in the water so I could get back on the boat. I enjoyed the healthy options for a snack. Highly recommend this charter group. And the diving was fantastic with a great dive master.

We had such an amazing time with the beneath the bay crew! As a beginner diver it was really comforting to be surrounded by such experienced and patient divers. I felt my form improve in just two dives! The sites were absolutely spectacular and we swam with grey nurses, cuttlefish and a school of king fish (and much more)!

I did a double boat dive today and highly recommend!I booked in online and Tammy was very helpful and prompt with organising my spot on the boat. Norm and Ken were very experienced divemasters and made the whole experience very enjoyable. And Mick was a great skipper and provided loads of snacks during the surface interval whilst we chatted about all the life below.One of my favourite dive trips so far and definitely a must-do with the Beneath the Bay crew!
