We run specific technical dive boats to  get some decompression diving done on some North Stradbroke Islands deeper reefs. These trips are only open to those with a technical diving certification or students on a technical course. These will always be run as decompression dives, within your certification limits.  CCR divers are welcome with a maximum runtime of 2 hours. 


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 technical trips.

THE EXPERIENCE

The trip includes one technical dive. 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 45 minutes to get to most sites.
