We run specific rebreather dive boats to get some silent diving done on some North Stradbroke Islands amazing sites. These trips are only open to those with a rebreather certification or students on a rebreather course. These will can be run as single decompression dives, within your certification limits or two 60min recreational dives.   

Please note these dives are not guided.  You will need to arrange a suitably qualified buddy to dive with.  For solo divers we may be able to arrange a buddy with sufficient notice.  No solo diving will be permitted on rebreather trips.


THE EXPERIENCE

The trip includes either one long dive or two shorter dives depending on boat preference. Decompression plans and run-times must be within certification limits. Dive sites are chosen beforehand but can change on the day due to weather conditions. It usually takes between 15 and 30 minutes to get to most sites.
