Please also note the following important information regarding booking:

Please check into our reservations office at Level 2, 293 Shute Harbour Rd Airlie Beach on the day before departure to receive a pre departure brief and to pick up your training materials. [see map at bottom of page].

The crew will meet you at the Kiosk at the Abel Point Marina at Airlie Beach at the departure time on the first day and the vessel will head out to sea within a few hours following a full vessel and safety briefing. The places the vessel cruises during the week depend on wind and tide but are sure to include some of the best locations in the Whitsunday's.

We supply all training materials, safety equipment required, meals, linen, instruction and accommodation aboard the vessel. You will need to supply your own liquid refreshments [other than tea and coffee] and your own personal items.

Naturally all our courses are conducted to the whim of Mother Nature. The instructors and the crew (ie you) will work out passage plans based on wind and tide as the week progresses and over the period ensure that you have a great time and cover all aspects of the syllabus.

Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Entry Fee: Please note, there is a Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Entry Fee of AUD27 levied on all visitors to the Marine Park. These figures include administration charges and are subject to change as per Government legislation and are payable at check in.

At certain times of year "Dangerous jellyfish inhabit these waters and passengers should take care for their own safety. Passengers entering the water do so at their own risk and the owners or operators of the vessel will not be liable for any personal injury, illness, death or any other consequences whatsoever of passengers being stung by jellyfish". To minimise this risk we recommend that you wear a full length protective "Stinger Suit" while swimming and snorkelling during the cruise. These are provided for hire either at check in or aboard the vessel. You will need to allow $10-$15 in hire fees in the season.
