Important Diving Information:
By law, the minimum age to dive is 12 years. Anyone under 18 years will need a parent or guardian's permission. We require anyone over the age of 70 to provide a doctor's clearance to dive. All Scuba Diving is subject to the successful completion of an on-board medical questionnaire. Passengers should not go to altitude (fly) within 12 hours of completing a single dive or 24 hours when doing multiple dives. WHSQ is the regulator and we must comply, even though the PADI guidelines suggest 18 hours for multiple dives.
Before embarking on your scuba diving adventure in Queensland, please note that there are specific medical requirements unique to our region for certain medical conditions (i.e. asthma, epilepsy, high blood pressure or certain medications) that may exclude individuals from diving. A dive medical obtained outside of Queensland may not meet these standards, potentially hindering your ability to dive with us. For comprehensive guidance on Queensland's diving code of conduct, we recommend visiting the Work Safe website. Alternatively, feel free to reach out to our friendly staff, who are dedicated to ensuring your dive experience is both safe and enjoyable. Please check when booking or email us with any questions or concerns. Certified Divers must produce their certification card.
