The Woebegone Ocean School program in Jervis Bay offers an eight week adventure designed to empower children through exploration, learning, and fun in a safe aquatic environment. Each 90 minute session combines freediving, yoga and meditation, breathwork, and ocean awareness to build confidence in the water and foster a lifelong connection with the sea. Students develop practical swimming skills while learning to use masks, snorkels, and fins, and are introduced to safe breath holding and duck diving techniques. The curriculum also covers essential topics such as buddy safety, marine conservation, shark behaviour, marine mammals, fish identification, seaweed significance, the Great Southern Reef, and the impact of plastic pollution. Lessons take place in Jervis Bay's protected shallow bays, providing a secure and inspiring outdoor classroom.
All necessary equipment is provided, including premium kids snorkelling gear and 5mm full length wetsuits, with options for students to purchase dive equipment at discounted rates. Term 1 of 2026 begins the week of February 2, running for eight weeks with classes from 10 am to 11 30 am. Location details are shared weekly through a private Facebook group. Classes proceed in light rain, with extreme weather prompting indoor lessons. The program aims to cultivate ocean knowledge, confidence, and respect, inspiring children to connect with nature and embrace the wonders of the marine world.

I had an absolutely fantastic weekend doing my orientation dive (and fun dives) with Ocean Divers at Killary Fjord! From the moment I arrived every member of staff and all the other divers were incredibly welcoming, friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was supportive and relaxed, making it easy to feel comfortable even if you’re just starting out like me (10 dives previously). There were a lot of divers, but each in small groups with their own dive master or dive instructor and grouped together in the OW/AOW courses or fun dives. While I had already done my OW elsewhere, I’ll definitely be doing the advanced course and further dives with these guys as the level of dedication and commitment that goes into making their students be successful divers is visible. Bring a bit of patience for the initial response period if you reach out during a very busy time - it‘s hard to respond when you’re always in the water 😄 but I honestly can’t recommend them enough if you’re looking to become a good diver and explore Irelands underwater world with a genuinely lovely group of people.

I’m doing the drysuit diver course with Oceandivers at the moment. I was having trouble getting my buoyancy right, so had six pool sessions to get it right at no extra charge!! What a crew Oceandivers have. There was no pressure, just take your time and get it right. Dan is always on hand to help you out and the rest of the lads are so helpful. I had my first sea dive for the buoyancy certification today off Dalkey island. It was fantastic!! The extra lessons really paid off. I cannot recommend the Oceandivers crew highly enough. It is and has been a pleasure working with Oceandivers to get my drysuit certification. Can’t wait to get back in the water with the crew!!

Great enjoy my training with him and also thank other instructors, divemasters and staffs from Oceandivers.

Amazing experience on my Open Water Diving Course with Oceandivers Ireland! The instructors are all professional, patient, and safety-focused. Training was well-structured, with great dive sites and top-notch equipment. Richard was my instructor and had so much patience with us all while also ensuring we had fun too! Highly recommend. Can’t wait to return! 🌊🤿

I have just completed my Open Water Diver qualification with Oceandivers. It was a fantastic experience from start to finish. My instructor Alan was so knowledgeable and really took the time to ensure we were all comfortable with the skills needed. In addition the dive masters on the crew were a great support and help as it was a completely new environment for me, Dan in particular was amazing. I would highly recommend Oceandivers to anyone looking to enter the diving world. Thanks to Alan and his team for a great debut to diving.
