 It is your responsibility to make your way to either Brisbane, Coolangatta (Gold Coast) or Ballina Airport where you will be met by a local bus company to transport you to Byron Bay. There are many international flights direct to Brisbane or Sydney and we recommend where possible to connect on a domestic flight to arrive at either Ballina or Coolangatta to shorten travel time to Byron Bay (45 mins from Coolangatta, 25 mins from Ballina).
You will be staying above the Byron Bay Dive Centre in its self- contained, on site lodge. All linen, kitchen ware and laundry facilities are provided. You'll be able to watch the sunset sitting on the deck enjoying your BBQ!
Your main outgoings will be food and entertainment. We understand everyone varies in terms of tastes, requirements, social life and spending habits. Although the ADA expects your primary commitment to be the course, Byron offers plenty of entertainment from having a schooner at the local pub with live music to surfing the breaks at The Pass.
Full diving equipment will be provided for you for hire and is included in the cost of the course. For full details see the information page. All you are required to bring is your swimmers and a towel.
We suggest you talk to your booking agent or travel agent regarding insurance. You will be required to have a policy that covers diving to 30 meters. For a more dive-specific insurance policy, we recommend the following based on your region: Europe: DAN Europe Asia Pacific: DAN Asia Pacific Americas: DAN Divers Alert Network
Deposits are non-refundable. Payment of a 20% deposit enables the ADA and/or its booking agent to hold a reservation for you. Full payment must be received 60 days prior to the start of the course.
If you cancel your placement you may be entitled to a refund. The cancellation conditions which apply are set out in the Terms and Conditions of booking.
