Well what can I say but Outstanding. Dolphin Scuba made my open water dive course a breeze. Everything was well planned and executed. The staff were very knowledgeable, patient and made you feel safe in the water. Highly recommend Dolphin Scuba. If you unsure tag along on one of there Sunday dives as a snorkeler and see for yourself.

My teenage son is interested in learning to scuba dive, we have zero experience and knowledge. We came to the store today to look at fins, snorkel and mask, these things are required for any diving course. A young lady met us and gave us heaps of advice, we learned so much! We were about to leave and thought of another question, that's when we met Sarah. She immediately understood that my son is a student on a tight budget and what we were trying to achieve. She was very helpful and found an option that worked for us. Both staff members were very knowledgeable and gave us great advice without

I recently completed my JJ-CCR course with Callum, I would highly recommend Callum and Dolphin Scuba for all your diving and training needs. Callum was a professional and to the point instructor, with great knowledge. Spending a full 7 days with Callum showed me he always puts his customers and students first every time. Cheers Dean

I have been going to Dolphin for many years, and have had nothing but the best of service from them. They are great people to deal with, their equipment servicing is very prompt, and their instructors are top notch.
