Experience Scuba Diving at Lizard Island

Discover Scuba Diving

Designed for those with no prior experience who want a taste of diving without committing to a full course. Undertake a classroom session, have your dive equipment professionally fitted and enjoy a supervised shore dive with a qualified instructor.

 

10 and 11 Year old certified divers wishing to dive on Lizard:

In Australia, to learn to dive you must be 12 years and above, but if a 10 and 11 year old are already certified internationally they can dive with us. They will have a limit of 12m diving depth and must hire a private guide to ensure the safety of the diver, and have a parental supervision present on the dive.

 Junior open water divers aged 12- 14 years old wishing to dive on Lizard:
Limit of 18m as per certification and must have parental supervision present on the dive. If the juniors have logged over 20 dives, they are welcome to join the shared certified diver group. If the juniors have under 20 logged dives, they will be required to hire a private guide, along with a parent or guardian present on the dive with them.

Junior open water divers from 15-18 who have not converted to Open water divers on their card:
Return to normal restrictions as Open water divers, they can pay a fee to PADI or SSI (whichever agency they are with) to convert them from Junior open water divers to Open water divers. This automatically rolls over to Open by the age of 15, but it is their responsibility to call their agency for a new card. They can dive without parental supervision in the water, but parental supervision must be at on the tour.

Relaxed and casually elegant. The Diving and snorkelling was magical. Special call out to Dive instructors Sandra and Liam and Captains Brutus and Harry and Chris. Memorable dining, gorgeous accommodation. The degustation experience on our final night was exceptional. We loved this place and the staff and will be back. Thank you all for rescuing us from the year that was 2020! - Pete & Kim

Our visit was part of a special Penfolds 75 anniversary! We weren't sure what to expect but certainly were not disappointed. All meals were designed to match white and red wines and included a masterclass conducted by Penfolds winemaker Andrew Hales. In between all the wining and dining we had time to take a tinnie out for a picnic and snorkelling. - Truus

The beaches were breathtaking. Not only the most beautiful we've seen anywhere in the world, but we also had them literally to ourselves. It's so remote, and the resort is so small, that you can reliably get your own beach daily. Make sure to check out the turtles! Also, they packed us delicious lunches every day with all the wine we wanted! I can't express how magical Lizard Island is. It's just a completely *other*, next-level place. It is worth any amount of money to go. - Nathan

All staff always had a smile on their faces. Colin was a great person to refresh my Scuba diving skills and was amazing when we went on the Outer Reef Dive always making sure I was okay and showed me some cool stuff. So many of activities to choose from and dining was a good choice - Ethan
