Premier PADI 5 Star IDC Centre in Geelong: The Way the World Learns to Dive

I took part in ADI’s underwater photography course and had the pleasure of being taught by Corinne.

It was a great experience although the dive itself had limited visibility my experience was great. Corinne was lovely to learn from very supportive and informative. I had a lovely experience in the shop itself with Corinne and Ting when we came back to do file formatting and editing. They are great to chat with about different photography equipment, brands and I even got some tips and tricks they use when editing.

All in all would definitely recommend ADI and the course, it was a lovely friendly environment and a lot of fun! My photography skills aren’t the best but I feel I have learnt a great base to grow from and have been inspired to continue to learn and developing which is everything I wanted!

Would recommend, thank you for the experience.

I recently completed my TEC50 course with Ting from ADI. I can’t recommend ADI highly enough, Ting is meticulous and thorough. We went through all the required skills and carried out some excellent dives to finish off the course. Thank you ADI, Ting and Colin for helping me achieve my certification. I have no hesitation in recommending ADI for all your diving needs.

I recently completed a dry suit course with ADI, and my experience was fantastic! My dive instructor, Ian, was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and made sure I was comfortable every step of the way. They did an excellent job of breaking down the course material and ensuring I understood everything before we got in the water.

Diving with ADI was a great experience overall. The team is professional, friendly, and truly passionate about diving. They also helped me with purchasing new fins and servicing my regs & BCD.

I highly recommend ADI to anyone looking to take a diving course or purchase equipment. The service was top-notch, and I feel confident and well-prepared for my future dives.

Mim and Ting were amazing. They guided us through our PADI with such care and consideration. In addition to the professional training, they were both just beautiful humans that were a pleasure to spend the three days with.
If you are looking to get your PADI, I would 100% recommend ADI Geelong.

Completed a ReActivate course with Bruce. Completed a lovely dive down at St Leonards and refreshed on some necessary skills. Bruce was great to dive with and I had an amazing time. Thanks also to Corinne/Ting Ting for all the email correspondence and scheduling my dive. Couldn't recommend highly enough.

Corinne was excellent instructor and enjoyed the refresher course. Would do another course with them.

I went for a snorkel with Bruce to the Ozone wreck @ Indented Heads today. It had been a long time since my last snorkel experience & I'd had no previous instruction.
Bruce helped me gather my gear at the shop & we headed off. At the wreck l received instruction & tips re: using the mask, dry snorkel & fins as well as duck diving etc. l found it all v helpful & an enjoyable experience.
Also a big shout out to Corinne for her patience organising the outing, via email & phone.
Well done to you both!

We did a beginners diver with Bruce at St Leonard’s peer, which was surprisingly full of life including yellow seahorses, stingrays and a massive school of fish going past. The hire gear was in great condition and flexibility from Bruce and customer service from Ting Ting was fabulous. Would highly recommend.

I have been a club member at ADI for years. They are a great bunch of people. They are very passionate about the sport and are always happy to share their knowledge.

ADI was very easy to deal with, the instructors are very knowledgeable and clearly passionate about diving. I will do my next course with them for sure.

I completed my open water dive course with ADI and really loved it! Bruce was my instructor and John was there to support as well and both were really great to work with. The whole process from start to finish was so straightforward and simple. I highly recommend diving with them as they were friendly, reliable and super supportive throughout the process. Plus you get to experience the amazing and unreal feeling of breathing underwater.

Great fun and very knowledgeable to dive with .

Visiting Melbourne and wanted to go for a local dive. Organised a private dive with ADI (and hired the gear from them too) - Corinne was my awesome guide/divemaster. She’s friendly, organised and kind enough to gently point out when I set my octopus up the wrong way round! 🤣 Had a great “first dive since 2019” so this was a really good way to get back underwater.

Based on my experience I would definitely recommend.

Mark Robinson

I did my open water through ADI and met some amazing mentors and friends through joining the ADI dive club. I never would have had the confidence in my skills or knowledge of the sport to continue diving without their support! Since then I have progressed through more PADI courses with ADI and dive most weekends. If you are looking for quality instruction that will set you up to get hooked on the best hobby on earth than ADI is the place to go!

So much more than just a dive shop or a place to obtain your certifications. Steve has built a community of divers who all genuinely want to see growth in the sport. Bruce is very friendly and an excellent instructor who will ensure students feel safe and confident in the water. I experienced some anxiety in the beginning of my course and Bruce as well as DM Ash provided me with some suggestions to overcome it and complete the skills to become a diver. I don’t have one negative thing to say about ADI. I’ll definitely be a returning customer. Thanks Steve and crew.

By far the best diving school there is can’t recommended them enough the teachers are so patient and will make sure everyone understands and will always help 10/5

My 11yo son did his Open Water with ADI. Bruce is an excellent instructor and the entire course was well organised and inclusive. I am a retired Divemaster and I was allowed to participate. My thanks to Steve and his team.

Dive shop is stocked and price is on point with anywhere else. Courses are always well run with great instructors that teach at a pace suited to you.
The club and members are all fantastic guys and girls, extremely friendly and help anyone out

ADI have been fantastic in their training courses, providing additional guidance and steering me in the right direction for high quality gear setup. I strongly recommend them for all diving education, equipment needs and ongoing support.
