About Us

Hello Divers I am now retired from diving after 39 years I will leave this site up for a while in case I can find someone reliable to take over But also to let divers know the reality of diving in Hervey Bay

Hervey Bay has some good dive spots but this year has been a bad year due to heavy downpours of rain

Hervey Bay is not known for good visibility

In fact the average visibility is about 3 metres  

It is known for wreck diving mainly the Roy Rufus artificial Reef 

So you want to dive the EXHMAS Tobruk

it is 25 nautical miles out to sea one way 

Being located in open ocean it can only be safely dived on few occasions 

The tides can be very strong 

Being on its side does present a challenge 

Just be mindful of this with orientation to exits etc 

My real recommendation for diving is 

travel to Bundaberg 

 The Tobruk is a little shorter distance 

there are two dive operations conducting dive trips out to the EXHMAS Tobruk 

Be very careful and check the tides if you want to do the Tobruk 

Best time to Dive Hervey Bay is winter Autumn and possibly Spring 

Forget Summer poor visibility big tides 

There is not much time between the change of tides 

Some local dive business will talk up the diving for bums on seats to pay the bills 

Before booking check the tides eg neap tides and weather patterns 

Where to dive

My best advice as a Dive Instructor of 39 years is Lady Elliott Island

But be prepared to part with a lot of money and limited flying diving restrictions 

Lady Musgrave Island

Departing from Bundaberg bit of a busy day but on a good day exceptional diving on a coral cay fringing island 

Bargara Shore diving at Coral cove costs you little to nothing but check wind and tides 

Be Careful

Diving is and was not my prime income 

I could afford to be choosy 

Be cautious of some dive operations they will lie or exaggerate to get you on their dive trip and you may be very disappointed

Simply to continue to generate income 

Check the tides and wind aim for a neap tide 

Most of the dives in Hervey Bay leave a very small window for a rest between two dives 

Tides are not kind to us here run picks up very quickly

In Queensland we have the most legislated Diving Industry in the World 

Call in and get the medical questionnaire or I can email you a copy 

Prior to commencing a Dive Course in Queensland please go to :

 The SRWA Regulation requires any person training for an entry-level recreational diving certificate to complete a self-assessed medical declaration form prior to training. 

Where they  identify in the declaration medical conditions or if they are over 45 years old or have a body  mass index of over 30 and a waist circumference greater than 102 cm for males and 88 cm  for females; then the person conducting the business or undertaking must not allow the  person to commence the training 

until the person can provide a dive medical certificate by a  doctor, certifying that the person is medically fit to dive.

An example of a self-assessed medical declaration for entry-level certificate divers is  attached at Appendix 3. A body mass index (BMI) calculation chart is attached at Appendix 4 (reproduced with the permission of Queensland Health). The medical certification should be provided in English, preferably by a medical practitioner  with experience in diving medicine, within 90 days prior to the commencement of training. The person conducting the business or undertaking should ensure that people undertaking  training for an entry level recreational diving certificate are at least a minimum of 10 years of  age.

If the diver is under the age of 18 years, parental or guardian consent should be  obtained for the diver to undertake training for an entry-level recreational diving certificate. 

A Basic swimming skills and being comfortable in the water is important
