There are certain conditions that preclude one from diving, such as asthma, diabetes, heart conditions and epilepsy. All divers are required to fill out a diving medical questionnaire on board the boat to ensure that they have no medical condition (past or present) or taking any medication that could be detrimental to diving. It is absolutely imperative that you are honest when filling in this form as diving has some special requirements due to pressure changes. Some clients may need a diving medical from a diving doctor in order to dive. Should you have any questions regarding diving and dive medicals, please phone us on our booking number and we will gladly assist you. Top Tip: QLD has the highest safety standards in the world; you can be assured of the very highest standard of care.
In order to do an introductory dive you must be 12 yrs old. The upper age is only limited by the fitness and medical condition of the individual.
