Backpackers Hostels for Dive Students

Walk to your dive school. These hostels are all located within easy walking distance of one or more of the dive schools located in Cairns. While every dive school in Cairns includes transfers to and from your lodging for all scuba dive students, many people find it more relaxed to be able to walk to and from their classes.
