Dive Gizo offers exciting diving just minutes from Gizo. Opened in 1985 by Danny and Kerrie Kennedy, Dive Gizo maintains the standards of excellence in diving, while making every trip exciting and relaxing. Dive Gizo is the only PADI Dive Facility in Gizo and has on staff a full-time PADI Instructor. So whether you are ready to try diving for the first time, or a seasoned veteran, Dive Gizo will cater to your needs.

Gizo has some of the best and most exciting diving in the world from WWII wrecks to reefs that have some of the highest fish counts in the world. You will surely find something new and exciting under the surface. Each dive is led by a local trained and experienced guide, and in small groups of 4-6 people, no crowded boats, no tight time schedules!

The waters around Gizo are sheltered from the sea, and generally calm. For this reason, 7 metre covered ray boats are operated enabling individual needs and schedules to be catered for. A feature of the dive day is the picnic lunch provided in between dives on on one of Gizo’s gorgeous deserted islands, with time to snorkel, relax or explore the islands. For the non-diver, Dive Gizo also conducts many WWII tours, bird tours, snorkeling, surf drops, and village tours.
