This popular family resort is home to a unique man-made open air lagoon.

Daydream Island has long been a destination for those wanting a family friendly island resort with many modern activities.
We're proud to be introducing scuba diving to the wide range of visitors and guests on Daydream Island.
We know how amazing the underwater world is in the Whitsundays and it's our honour to take ordinary people on what often turns into one of the most amazing experiences of their lives.
So when next you stay or even if you're just visiting for a day trip, why not just try out Scuba in the pool and then once you've found out how easy it is you can come see Nemo with us!
Ever wondered what it's like to scuba dive. Then wonder no more!
We can give you a very easy introduction to scuba diving in the pool! The pool is one of the easiest ways to give SCUBA diving a go before venturing out in to the exciting world beneath the ocean's surface.
Our Instructors will get you comfortable and show you how easy it really is to breath underwater. Then, once you've discovered how easy scuba diving is (even for those who can't swim) we can take you straight out to the reef and show you one of the most amazing places on the planet!
We offer our world class diver training to all guests and visitors to Daydream Island.
With a relaxed atmosphere and easy access to pool, classroom and sea we think it's the best Open Water Dive course to be offered in the Whitsundays.
Starting any day and taking from three to four days (depending on your availability) we offer a personalised dive course that gives you just what you need.
So whether you've done a dozen introductory dives or have never had your head underwater before we will tailor the course to your level of comfort.
Drop down any time and see us to make a plan or plan ahead before you even get to the island. The important thing is to make sure you leave some time in your hectic holiday schedule to come with us for some fun dives around Daydream Island.
Come see the pokie machine wrecks or drop off the ledge for an adventurous deep dive. Sounds too much? No problem, just walk off the beach and cruise the fringing reef.
All dives are guided and times are tide dependent.
Our Advanced Adventurer course is for anyone who has completed an Open Water Course and would like to get a sample of the many exciting specialities available.
Our course consists of 5 dives in specialities such as Navigation, Deep, Perfect Buoyancy, Naturalist & Boat Diving.
Course duration is two days and upon completion you will not only have a greater range of diving experience but you will also be certified to dive to 30m.
Usually there are two reasons people like to have a guided snorkeling experience. Firstly you may not be very good in the water. You may not even be able to swim. The other reason is that you may just like to learn more about the reef and its inhabitants.
We offer a guided snorkel for just those reasons. If you can't swim then we'll get you in a wetsuit and wrap you up in flotation devices. For around half an hour we will tell you about coral and the ecosystem of a reef.
All of our divers place importance on reef interpretation and you'll find even the most experienced snorkeler will learn something new.
Join our trained Dive Guide for a snorkelling adventure off the shores of beautiful Daydream Island.
