• All Scuba Diving is subject to successful completion of an on-board medical questionnaire. Please answer the following questions on your past and present status with a YES or NO. If you are not sure, answer YES. If any of these items apply to you, we must request that you consult with a Queensland doctor PRIOR to participating in scuba diving. The questionnaire can be downloaded here.
• 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) these 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.

Covid19 shares many of the same symptoms as other serious viral pneumonia that require a period of convalescence before returning to full activities, a process that can take weeks or months depending on symptom severity.  If you have been subject to Covid19, the following guidelines apply: 

• Divers who have had symptomatic Covid19, should wait a minimum of two, preferably three months before resuming their diving activities.
• Divers who have tested positive with Covid19 but have remained completely asymptomatic, should wait one month before resuming diving.
• Divers who have been hospitalised with pulmonary symptoms related to Covid19, should, after a three-month waiting period, undergo complete pulmonary function testing as well as a cardiac evaluation with echocardiography and exercise test  (exercise electrocardiography) to ascertain normal cardiac function prior to their return to diving.

Yes! If you are over 12 years old and pass all the medical questionnaires, you can do an intro-dive. You will given a detailed 30 min brief from our experienced PADI dive masters and all the equipment you need. We do smaller groups for intro dives and will be in safe hands with our friendly crew.

For the experienced divers (certified), join our PADI dive masters as they show you sheer walls of corals, caves and possibly drift dive (if conditions permit). Just don’t forget your certification card!
