Scuba Diving the beautiful Whitsunday Islands with Tornado Dive. 

Tornado is our Rendezvous Scuba Dive Company offering Introductory or Certified Scuba Dives. Scuba Diving is performed from a 58ft Motor Boat which has been customized as a Whitsunday Dive Platform. A Dive team are ready to take you scuba diving, and live aboard Tornado Dive anchored around the fringing coral reefs which extend from the edge of the Whitsunday Islands. Hook Island and Langford Reef are two of the most northern islands in the Whitsundays and are both amongst the premier sites for scuba diving around the Whitsundays. They are both lovely examples of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park with the bays full of extraordinary coral formations and marine life in abundance. Tornado Dive PDF

From the time you enter the water at the begining of your scuba dive there are many varieties of fish around you and  a couple of metres off the beach there is coral under you and once again fish surrounding you. The Whitsundays have perfect places for “beginner” or “nervous" divers to learn to dive because when you have plenty of distraction it tends to help the nerves!

Certified Scuba Divers

There is a guided dive available that is under the supervision of our experienced Dive Instructor/Master. There are over hangs, crevices to explore and huge bommies (coral heads) of stunning coral.Scuba Diving with the Whitsundays marine life is very impressive with anemones, seas cucumbers, starfish, nudi branches, just to name a few. The dive instructor will simply guide you around and point out different marine life of interest as you go along to ensure that you have an enjoyable dive. It is a very easy scuba dive, because you have someone to do all the navigation for you and it is also a very beautiful dive.

Introductory Scuba Diving

Provides the chance for people who have never tried Scuba Diving before to experience the wonders of scuba diving on a reef around the Whitsundays Islands under the guidance of an experienced Scuba Diving Instructor.

First of all you are given a dive brief on the boat explaining a few things that you need to understand as well as letting you know exactly what is going to happen so you are nice and comfortable to begin your scuba dive.

Once we are out at your diving destination you will practice and get comfortable in waist deep water first, when everyone is happy the scuba diving tour commences. You will be guided around the bay amongst the beautiful coral. The instructor will point out different marine life for you while taking care of all the technical side of things. It is a very beautiful experience and also very easy. The Dive Instructor is there to baby sit you as much or as little as you need (if you wish to hold their hand for the entire dive you can). Most people come back and say the scuba diving is easier than snorkelling.

Introductory scuba divers need to sign a medical statement to say that they do not currently suffer from or have a history of: Asthma, diabetes, epilepsy, operations on the lungs, heart or ears, and any medication currently been taken or recent operations/illnesses have to be declared. These forms need to be completed before you arrive a the dive site.

Please let us know at check in if you wish to scuba dive as not pre booking could cause disappointment later.

Cost: $75.00 for both Certified and Introductory dives, this includes everything.
