Dive with a purpose
Every Thursday our team heads out and clears whatever rubbish we can find on the reef and in the water.

SDI Rescue Diver changes how you dive. You learn to notice stress in other divers before it becomes a problem, and to act calmly when something does go wrong.
It is a prerequisite for SDI Divemaster, but it is worth doing even if you never go pro. You become a safer buddy and a calmer diver.
Each scenario is practised in the pool first, then at sea.
You practise the confined water scenarios in the pool at Novotel. The open water rescue scenarios happen at Grandé Island on the actual FlyingFish dive boat.
Coral gardens, moray eels, snappers, parrotfish. Our main training reef, with gentle conditions and plenty of fish.
British-era wreck covered in soft coral, with resident groupers, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels.
Rocky pinnacle with currents and open-water fish. Eagle rays and drift diving.
Protected bay, very gentle. Nudibranchs, pipefish, seahorses. A good place to practise skills away from the current.
Shallow reef for long bottom times. Small life such as nudibranchs and ornate ghost pipefish. Good for photography and hover practice.
We usually run the open water scenario dives at the calmer sites (Shelter Cove, Grandé Reef), where conditions stay manageable during the more physical rescue exercises.
Here's what is different about diving with us.
Pro-grade gear serviced every 100 dives or 6 months, not when it fails. MK25/S620 regulator, Hydros Pro BCD, Aladin Sport dive computer. You train on the same kit our working instructors use.
Your instructor always knows where you are underwater. No crowded groups. If a skill needs more practice, you get the time, not whatever's left over after 8 other students.
We teach all three agencies at the same location, so you can pick the certification that fits your future dive plans. You get honest advice, not a push toward whichever we sell more of.
Proper briefing rooms, clean rinsing stations, a structured course schedule. The difference between a real dive school and a beach shack matters when you're doing a multi-day certification course.
We don't fake rescue scenarios in a pool and call it open water training. At FlyingFish the scenarios run on the actual Grandé Island dive boat, with the crew taking part. You find out what handling a rescue is really like in a real setting, which is the only training that counts.
