We had such a great experience with Melanie for our PADI Advanced Open Water certification. She’s passionate about diving and her teaching approach is very professional. We did the training before going on a liveaboard and it was perfect. Thanks for everything!

I arrived in Far North Queensland with a relatively narrow window for scuba diving and Mel made it work perfectly. She is very flexible and we did a refresher course in her pool (although she is happy to come to your pool if it suits, or take you to a lake). We then went for a lovely day of diving on the Great Barrier Reef. Mel sorted all the logistics and everything for me. Sheâ€™s a wonderful teacher and great company. If I ever come back to Queensland Iâ€™d love to dive with her again.

Melanie is a great instructor , friendly, patient and accomodating with regard to a combination of pool, lake and ocean dives during courses if needed. It was the first time also that I had done a Padi certification with a private instructor in a small group which was also a positive experience. I live in Atherton and I was able to complete my entire rescue diver course at lake eacham which was so convenient compared to going down to cairns a d then heading out to the reef and back! I would recommend anyone interested in doing any dive courses to contact Melanie to arrange to do their PADI certification through Octopus Dive.

Mel was hands down the best SCUBA dive trainer Iâ€™ve had! And Iâ€™ve had many. I completed Adv OW and Rescue Diver with Octopus Dive last year. The experience was second to none. Mel and her partner Fred are dedicated to their studentâ€™s learning and give clear and logical instruction. Mel also taught my CPR course, and did a great job of that too. Highly recommended.
