diving in New South Wales

[joanna05]

I am going to churchaven, Asquith next March and hope to go diving while I am there, can anybody recommend a PADI dive centre in the area. At the moment I have only 8 dives under my belt since completeing my OW so still need looking after

g'day joanna,
although i m from australia but i m not from the area you are heading to.
maybe you could go to the padi website which you could look for dive centres in certain areas.
cheers
kenny

have done that, thought it would be better to have a personal recommendation

hi,
are you talking about the Sydney suburb asquith which is near Hornsby???

 

[joanna05]

Yes. that's the one

 

[almitywife]

well this is sydney so you will have to travel no matter what so the LDS i suggest are a little away from you but you are going to get that with any shop.

some i can recommend is:
Frogdive Willoughby, go in and talk to them, they have a strong club base dive schedule, weekly boats and monthly bbq & shore diving.

Many Dive or Bondi Dive. They very close to the dive site and they use a mini van to transport you from their shop to dive site. They both have huge tourist markets so their dive sites arent too challenging and you might appreciate that.

Another to check out is Deep 6 Diving at Ryde or Dive 2000 at neutral bay, but i havent been there for a few years but when i use to go there they always seemed very good.

there might be some dive shops in the northern beaches area but i dont venture that way often.

Hope these give you a start and enjoy
