Diving for life, not just your holiday!
It's not who we are that holds us back, it's who we think we are not!
Escape the office and go WILD!
At DiverCity SCUBA we believe you learn more from working in smaller groups and taking your time. People learn from each other by talking, sharing ideas and experiences. Our courses are run in small groups, incorporating theory and practical sessions to allow more one to one time, so our team can help you attain the best diving skills from your course.
We can facilitate larger groups, we simply increase the number of instructors for the group.

Once you've mastered those, we'll take you a little deeper and let you have your first underwater swim around! Great fun for all the family. Enrol on the Open Water course with us afterward and receive a discounted rate with a DSD.
