Discover a Vibrant Underwater Paradise
Dive into the breathtaking beauty of the Sunshine Coast’s local reefs, where pristine marine sanctuaries await. Led by our highly experienced dive professionals, you will explore thriving underwater ecosystems in intimate, small-group settings designed for your safety and comfort. 🐠
Whether you are holidaying in Queensland or a passionate local diver, we can tailor an unforgettable experience to suit your interests—from meandering through colourful coral gardens to exploring dramatic shipwrecks.
Why Dive the Sunshine Coast?
Diving here is incredibly convenient. While our coral reefs rival the marine diversity of the Great Barrier Reef, you only need to spend 20 minutes on a boat to reach the action! With rich waters, vivid colours, and a lack of coral bleaching, this region is a true diver’s haven. 🌊
Our Premier Dive Sites
- Jew Shoal (Laguna Bay, Noosa)
Just 20 minutes from the shore, this site features a stunning complex of canyons, ridges, and bommies. Swim through beautiful caves and gutters covered in colourful hard and soft corals. Keep an eye out for seasonal manta rays, grey nurse sharks, and over 100 varieties of nudibranchs! 🐢
- Old Woman Island (Mudjimba Island)
A shallow-water paradise reached in less than 20 minutes from Mooloolaba. Perfect for beginners and snorkelers, these sheltered waters boast a dazzling array of soft corals, sea sponges, anemones, and tropical fish.
- Inner Gneerings
Located in the warm coastal waters of the Coral Sea, this comprehensive reef network includes famous spots like Hanging Rock and Fairyland. Adorned with black coral trees and white coral whips, it is home to loggerhead turtles, wobbegongs, and leopard sharks.
- Outer Gneerings
An open-water site averaging 18 metres in depth (dropping to 25 metres) with excellent 15-metre visibility. Ideal for experienced divers, the rock and boulder formations are blanketed in a vast quilt of coral, attracting larger pelagic fish in winter. 🛥️
- Magic Mountain
A rugged structure on the Outer Gneerings Reef featuring gullies, ravines, and pinnacles. This advanced dive is home to morwong, batfish, crayfish, and the occasional groper amongst thriving coral colonies.

Equipment & Safety Regulations
Advertised dive destinations are always subject to weather, numbers, and safe diving conditions at the site. Under WH&S law in Queensland, you must carry a safety sausage and whistle. You should also carry a dive knife if there is the risk of entanglement on the dive site. Mandatory equipment is supplied in all hire equipment from Subsurface Scuba. If you require your own, these items can be hired or purchased from Subsurface Scuba on the day of your dive.
Why do we have this cancellation and refund policy?
When you make a reservation on a dive charter, administration costs are incurred and bookings are made by us with our boat, skipper, and dive guides. Subsurface Scuba will hold the dive charter place for you and turn others away who would like to book onto your place. With cancellations and transfers, it is unlikely your place can be re-sold. Cancellations mid-trip are not eligible for partial refunds as Subsurface Scuba has already paid for the boat, skipper, and dive guides for their service required to run the dive charter.
Please find attached your PADI dive medical and waiver forms. Please complete these and return them.
Have a great day and we look forward to seeing you soon.
Cheers,
Scuba Steve
