Will scuba dives be guided?
The majority of scuba dives are not guided. The normal procedure followed by most dive operators is to give a thorough briefing so that divers have the confidence to dive without a guide. However if you have not been diving for a long time or are not very experienced, all dive operations (live aboard and resorts) offer a divemaster service for the first few dives. There are however regional differences…. on day boats out of Cairns, you can take a guided dive if you pay a little extra… From Port Douglas all dives from day boats are guided.
