For a first dive, my son absolutely loved it and is super-keen to do it again and get himself qualified. I had dived with a different Maggie Island company earlier in the week and my experience with PD was so much better. With the other company, we (3 of us) had had insufficient weight to be able to descend but PD brought extras so we could quickly adjust and get straight on with the dive. The condition and quality of the equipment was really great. The staff were all helpful and friendly (we had been in earlier to buy snorkel kit for beach exploration and spent a long time trying on fins and masks as a group of 9 with whom they were brilliant).
Everything about Pleasure Divers was professional, helpful and really friendly. I would recommend them to divers at any level wanting to explore Magnetic Island’s underwater world.
I can't wait for my next scuba experience with Magnetic Island Pleasure Divers.
We also had a great experience snorkelling thanks to Pleasure Dives.
I will always be grateful for his work.
All the equipment worked perfectly, the dive shop itself was a really nice place to spend time, and the team gave me some recommendations on what else to do whilst on the island.
Thanks guys! 🤙🏼🤙🏼
course and they both made us feel welcome and safe. A first class experience. Highly recommended. Thank you!

Thank you Pleasure Divers 🥳🥳🥳 you made this journey more exciting and less stressful more me. I know now that I can do it hehe 🤗🤗🤩🤩🔥🔥🥳🥳
From the moment Haylie welcomed us at the shop, her warmth and professionalism set the tone.
Chad took us through our refresher in the serene pool tucked away in their backyard, ensuring we felt completely at ease with all the fundamentals before the open-water dive. His expertise and patience were truly remarkable.
We were really pleased with our entire experience. Choosing Pleasure Divers was the best decision we made, and I'm immensely grateful for Chad's additional recommendations for other dive sites. If you're looking for a dive shop that combines professionalism with a personal touch, look no further. Highly recommend these fantastic folks! Thank you so much for an incredible dive experience!
The atmosphere of this dive centre is so welcoming and relaxing we didn’t want to leave. I would highly recommend these guys for diving certifications and guides.
I tried diving 10years ago & found equalising difficult. Being in the pool with Hayley was so helpful, she was so patient and helped me with my breathing. I was really nervous to start, but found the whole experience super relaxing. I then went out to the ocean with Chad, who has an equally relaxing and calming presence about him. He took everything really slowly and showed me and my husband round the reef at Alma Bay. Beyond grateful for both of you for the experience - Cannot recommend this company enough!! And what a beautiful place to dive on Magnetic Island!
Highly recommended, best dive operator on Magnetic Island.
