DRIFT DIVER
The PADI Drift Diver Specialty course teaches you how to enjoy going with the flow as you scuba dive down rivers and use ocean currents to glide along.
It feels like flying – except that you’re underwater using scuba equipment. Drift diving can be relaxing and exhilarating at the same time and here in Melbourne we're lucky to have plenty of dive sites suitable for drift diving including Sponge Gardens, Reefs and Kelp Forests.
