Brisbane Scuba Courses
Computer Nitrox Scuba Course
Any Flat Rock or Manta Bommie dive
Cost- $149 double dive
The Nitrox Scuba Course (32% EAN) has to be the most popular Brisbane Scuba Diver Course. Nitrox is a gas used to limit decompression sickness, extend our diving time and have safer dive profiles.
Nitrox allows us to do this by limiting the amount of nitrogen in our gas with blends from 22% to 40% oxygen. Although your depth is limited to your current diving certification, diving with Nitrox allows you to spend longer times underwater with a shorter surface interval. Furthermore, the course complements the Deep Diver Course. When we combine the Deep Diver and Nitrox Diver Courses we are able to extend our bottom time to the maximum depth of 40 metres.
Safety is always a priority, especially when we dive deeper than 18 metres. Furthermore, limiting the nitrogen will always keep our No Decompression Limits (NDL) within a safer margin.
If you’re swimming with manta rays at Manta Bommie or trying to photograph that shark we went diving for at Flat Rock, and would like to extend your dive time and reduce the risk, then the Nitrox certification is for you!
The Nitrox Diver Course can be taught with any Brisbane Scuba Diver Course. You can also join one of our social dives with EAN 32%.

Wreck Scuba Course
12 – September
7 – November
The Wreck Scuba Course covers the planning, techniques and hazards of wreck diving. Additionally, we cover how to prepare torches and wreck reels; both required for limited wreck penetration. Further, the course teaches you how to map out the wreck, as well as how to navigate the outside of the wreck and identify entry and exit points.
The Wreck Diver Course is conducted during a double dive at the ex-HMAS Brisbane. Also, you have the option of choosing to complete a third and fourth dive, which grants you the limited penetration certification. Although this certification comes at an additional cost, it offers more exposure to limited penetration and the correct use of wreck reels. In particular, this additional certification is recommended if you are planning on completing a technical course.
We will return to the bay during the surface interval. Here, you will be served coffee and tea with some food. This break allows us to debrief the dive, as well as explain the limits of limited penetration.
Finally, you can choose to combine this course with Nitrox Diver Course. In particular, this is the most popular specialty diver course we offer.

Google Reviews
I did my Open Water Course with Shane in November. I would highly recommend Shane and his team! The course was spread over 3 days – a comfortable pace to learn all the material and techniques (as opposed to other dive centres which do it in 2 days only). We even received a personalised hand-engraved dive knife at the end, really showing that Shane cares about his student and goes the extra mile. The added dad jokes and cheesy humour made the course that little bit more enjoyable!
Great equipment and very thorough instructions for the open water dive course i did. Also, as the groups are very small you get more input from the instructor. After going through the course, i really appreciate doing the open water course over 3 days as well. Would have been too much packed into 2 days for me. Also, a 3 day course with some repetition gives time for the instructions to sink in. Will be looking at doing some of the advanced courses with Scuba Shane in the future. Thanks Shane and Tors.
