Comments and Feedback
Headed over to Wavebreak Island with the wonderful Crew from the Queensland Scuba Diving Company. Our favourite Canadian and long time experienced Clean Up Crew Diver Heather got her wish as her partner Dean finally took the plunge and completed his Open Water Certification with the knowledgeable, skilled and very capable Instructors at the 5 Star PADI Dive Centre Queensland Scuba Diving Company. We love being on board with Open Water Divers as they take their first giant stride into the marine environment it is always such a wonderful reminder as to why you started diving and how truly amazing the world beneath the surface is. Once again many thanks to the fantastic crew at Queensland Scuba Diving Company for allowing us to get to the other side of the Broadwater and give it a good clean and for a fun day on board with some happy first time divers. Many congratulations to all those divers that completed their Open Water Certifications in such amazing conditions and welcome to the beautiful world of diving.
