Discover the Wonders of the Marine World Through Our Engaging Eight Week Ocean School
The Ocean School program offers an exciting eight week journey designed to build confidence, curiosity, and a lasting connection with the sea. Each session takes place in the calm and beautiful waters of Jervis Bay, where children learn through exploration and guided practice. The program blends freediving basics, yoga, meditation, breathwork, and ocean awareness to create a balanced learning experience. Students develop practical water skills such as safe breath holding, duck diving, and using masks, snorkels, and fins, all while discovering the fascinating marine life.
With supportive instructors and a hands on outdoor classroom, children gain confidence and a deeper understanding of ocean safety, marine behaviour, and environmental responsibility. The program also covers important topics including buddy safety, the effects of plastic pollution, the role of seaweed, marine mammals, and the Great Southern Reef. Premium snorkelling gear can be provided, and discounted equipment is available for purchase. This structured curriculum ensures that every participant gains a comprehensive understanding of the marine environment and their role within it.
Sessions run rain or shine, with indoor lessons during severe weather to ensure that the educational experience is never interrupted. This engaging and educational experience encourages young ocean lovers to explore the underwater world with respect and curiosity. By focusing on both the physical aspects of freediving and the theoretical aspects of marine biology, we provide a well-rounded education that prepares children for future adventures in the water. We prioritize safety and fun in every single session.
This program is perfect for children who are eager to learn more about the ocean and develop their swimming and diving skills in a supportive group setting. The camaraderie built between students as they learn together is just as important as the technical skills they acquire. By the end of the eight weeks, participants will have a newfound appreciation for the Great Southern Reef and the diverse marine life that calls Jervis Bay home, fostering a lifelong passion for conservation.

Customer Reviews
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 youâre 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, Iâll 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 - itâs hard to respond when youâre always in the water đ but I honestly canât recommend them enough if youâre looking to become a good diver and explore Irelands underwater world with a genuinely lovely group of people.
Iâm 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. Canât wait to get back in the water with the crew!!
Did my Open Water course with Ocean Divers and couldnât have asked for a better experience â especially on the trip out to Killary Harbour. Alan and Dan are absolute legends. They keep things calm, clear, and enjoyable from start to finish, and theyâve got a brilliant way of building your confidence without overcomplicating anything. Killary was a cracking spot to dive, and the lads made sure everyone got the most out of it, no matter their level. The whole vibe was relaxed but totally professional â you always felt in safe hands. Already looking forward to coming back for my Advanced course. If youâre thinking of giving diving a go, just book it with these lads. You wonât regret it.
