Iconic locations around the world famous Sydney Harbour
PRO ADVENTURES, part of the PRO DIVE group, specialises in ocean careers: travel, leadership, recreation, tourism, education, retail and maritime, which accounts for up to 40% of all jobs in Australia.
Our programs are not just about developing career-based skills; they also focus on developing life skills. We see many candidates evolve from shy individuals into confident young adults.
Let’s take learning to dive as an example. There is nothing on this earth quite as exciting as learning to dive, the fascination of seeing schools of fish streaming before your eyes, sunken shipwrecks or walls of coral, all, an experience that has to be seen to be believed. The experience and skills of becoming a diver add a new dimension to your life that will increase your confidence, help you meet new people, and visit new and exciting places.
Once you have learned to dive, progression through the various dive leadership roles will teach you how to communicate and teach effectively, present to groups, improve your people management skills, provide a background on how to create a safe work environment and various other business and workplace abilities, such as occupational first aid, bookings, point of sale and many more!
We take pride in our career training programs, when you embark on a course with us, you’ll be working with REAL classes, with REAL students, in REAL dive centres, and on REAL boats. None of our training in leadership, recreation, tourism, education, retail or maritime is simulated.
2 iconic training locations
Alexandria is one of Australia's fastest suburbs in Sydney. We've got cafes, restaurants, and easy access to the city's CBD, east coast, and south coast. Access to our location is ideal for the easy commute as we are located within a 10-minute walk from train stations.
Our facility in Alexandria is to the south of Sydney's CBD and 20 minutes east of the great Coogee beach and adjacent bays. Accessible by a short bus ride from Central station or if you'd prefer to drive, there is plenty of streets and private parking available. Our facilities are one of the largest in Australia in both retail and classroom space. We also have our own certified gas cylinder test station where we can provide training for students.
We are lucky to be within 30 minutes of some of Sydney's best diving locations: Camp Cove, Clovelly Pool, Gordon's Bay, and Bare Island, each
with unique characteristics.
Gordons Bay is located south of Clovelly Beach and north of Coogee Beach. Access to the bay is only limited to pedestrians via the surrounding streets or the Coastal Walk. Protected by an offshore reef, it is a popular scuba dive spot, and the calm waters hide an underwater nature trail, great for new divers and navigation.
The fish range from common temperate species through to tropical species that move south on the East Australian Current (EAC). Iconic species to NSW such as blue groper, giant cuttlefish, and wobbegong shark inhabit the area along with protected species like the elegant wrasse and black rockcod. The blue-ringed octopus is also a rare but thrilling sight, as long as you keep your distance! Join us and explore Sydney underwater!
A short 30-minute ferry ride across the world’s most spectacular harbour, Manly is a great place to start your Northern Beaches experience. It is a must-visit Sydney destination offering waterfront restaurants, attractions, adventure and entertainment.
Our facility near Manly is located in the neighbouring suburb of Brookvale. Accessible by a short 20 minute bus or 10 minute car ride from Manly Wharf. We have plenty of street and off street parking available.
The Northern Beaches offer us some spectacular dive sites, with the iconic Shelley Beach, Fairy Bower and Freshwater Beach being the most popular sites, which we dive frequently.
Cabbage Tree Bay Aquatic Reserve (accessible via Fairy Bower and Shelley Beach) with more than 160 species of fish and seven types of habitat: rocky shores, sandy beaches, rocky reefs, seagrass beds, kelp, sandy seabed and open water.
The fish range from common temperate species through to tropical species that move south on the East Australian Current (EAC). Many species use the reserve, including pelagic species, such as dusky whaler sharks, and sedentary species that rarely leave the reserve. Iconic species such as blue groper, giant cuttlefish and wobbegong sharks inhabit the area and protected species such as seadragons, elegant wrasse and black rockcod.
