About Us
The Whitsunday Dive Adventure Difference
Whitsunday Dive Adventures is a locally operated PADI 5 Star Instructor Development Centre with a purpose-built training facility in Cannonvale, just minutes from Airlie Beach.
With more than 16 years of experience, we specialise in professional training, small groups and relaxed dive trips around the Whitsunday Islands.
Whether it is your first breath underwater or your hundredth dive, our crew will make you feel welcome, prepared and confident.
Small groups, experienced guides and a spacious 11-metre dive catamaran—because your day on the water should feel as good as the diving.

More Room
Better Diving
Your comfort matters just as much as the diving.
SharkBait is our spacious 11-metre power catamaran, set up for comfortable dive trips around the Whitsunday Islands.
Her wide, stable deck gives guests plenty of room to prepare their equipment, move around safely and properly relax between dives.
Instead of spending the day squeezed shoulder-to-shoulder among tanks and equipment on a small open boat, you can enjoy full shade, comfortable space and a relaxed, uncrowded atmosphere—with a maximum of just 12 guests.
For added comfort, SharkBait also features an onboard toilet and a protected dry area for bags and electronics. Complimentary drinking water and snacks are provided year-round, and during the cooler winter months, guests can also enjoy complimentary cappuccino, black tea or hot chocolate onboard.
