2 Day Referral Daytrip - $380.00

What is a Referral?

Students who have already completed the classroom and pool training sections of an Entry-Level Scuba certification course with a recognised training agency can travel with Cairns Dive Centre to make their open-water training dives in the ocean to complete their certification.  (Do not choose this option if you are already a certified diver, if you wish to snorkel or if you wish to make Introductory dives.)

Departing daily from the Marlin Jetty, the M.V. Sun-Kist visits 2 different dive/snorkel locations each day from a choice of Milln, Briggs, Moore and Thetford Reefs - approximately 38 nautical miles (64 kilometers) from the coast of Cairns.

The experienced Sun-Kist crew - selected for their local knowledge and love of the Cairns region and the ocean - will take you to the best dive sites available.

Enjoy 2 Day-Trips, each with 2 Instructor-supervised training dives to complete your certification (total of 4 dives.)
