I went on a private dive with Jorg in Febraruy and absolutely loved it! I booked at the last minute, but he was very accomodatating and called me when I landed to confirm. I was a bit nervous having not dived for a while, but Jorg was so patient that he completely put me at ease. After a short refresher... More

Price includes full equipment hire, expert private Blue Dive guide, local transfers and high speed catamaran day trip to the Outer Great Barrier Reef Poseidon including snorkelling with full lunch buffet." Later on it says: "If cost is an issue… If cost is an issue then we can book... More

Hi Michael, We are glad you had a good day on Aristocat and do apologise if there was any confusion. However you did not book for private guiding with Blue Dive. We really MUCH prefer to book people onto our popular privately guided trips as this is our main business. We charge $295 for this introductory dive experience including one... More

Hi TK, We are very happy that you had an excellent experience diving with Poseidon and that the experience was "wonderful" - and please be assured that the price you paid was exactly the same booking through us as it would have been booking directly with our excellent colleagues at Poseidon. Apologies TK but there does seem to be a... More

My friend and I had a wonderful Blue Dive experience. We highly recommend Jorg as a dive instructor for many reasons. We engaged Jorg as our private instructor for two days (first day, Poisedon@Agincourt Reef, second day, Calypso@Opal Reef). It was my first dive experience, and my friend who has an advanced dive certificate, was keen to dive again after... More

This year we pushed the boat out (literally) and planned Christmas diving on the Barrier Reef and New Year in Sydney Harbour. My wife contacted Mark a few months beforehand and arranged the day with him and I have to say... More

I chose to complete my PADI Open Water Referral course with Blue Dive after reading the reviews on Tripadvisor, and I am very happy I did! Jorge was a great instructor who filled me with confidence on my first real taste of diving in the sea and that was despite jumping off the boat for the first time and watching... More

Learnt to dive with one of the most enjoyable and friendly outfits available in Port Douglas. Would strongly recommend Blue Dive and the people from Calypso as a great combination for a Barrier Reef experience and dive certification. More
