A huge thank you to Tristan, who made the whole dive feel safe, relaxed, and genuinely fun. His professionalism and passion really stood out, and we felt completely confident the entire time.
The marine life was amazing, and the atmosphere down there was just something else.
Highly recommend this dive.
We’ll definitely be back! 🐙🐠🪸
I just completed my Open Water certification with them, and from start to finish I was made to feel completely at ease.
They’re the perfect mix of professional, knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely fun and caring people - which made the whole experience unforgettable. I’m so grateful for the past four days and everything I’ve taken from the course.
I can’t wait for many more dives with Scuba World. Total legends 💛
Big thanks to all the staff. Recommend SCUBA WORLD from the beginner level and more experienced divers. Awesome job
From booking with Jasmin, to my refresher with Jake to the 2 guided dives with Dave, everyone was just so lovely and professional. Mike the owner is great too. Just a good humble guy.
My refresher was meant to be the day prior but due to traffic I had to reschedule. They were super accomodating. Jake came in at 5.45am to do it which was very nice of him.
Overall, I highly recommend Scuba World for anyone in the area looking to dive. A super professional outfit with exceptional staff. Well done guys and thanks again.
If you’re looking to learn diving, this is absolutely the place to go. Special thanks to Tim for his outstanding training sessions—he’s an awesome coach—and to Jaz🤩and Nat🤩 for all their support along the way.
I’ll definitely be back to re‑dive HMAS Brisbane with Scuba World! 🌊🐠
The HMAS Brisbane itself is an incredible site, and Scubaworld’s organisation and guidance made the trip enjoyable despite the less-than-perfect water clarity. I’d happily dive with them again and recommend them to anyone looking for a well-run, enjoyable dive experience on the Sunshine Coast.
The team make you feel like part of the family straight away.
Well structured, well organised and amazing staff
When deciding which relatives to visit on holiday, the ones on the Sunshine Coast have a distinct advantage, because we’re keen to come back and dive with the guys at Scuba World again.
I was recommended this dive company by another dive shop and they did not disappoint. Unfortunately the HMAS Brisbane was closed for maintenance but I had the opportunity to dive Barwon Banks, and it’s a must do for any experienced Advanced Open Water or above. When booking, Jasmine was really helpful with taking my numerous calls while booking. On the day we got great service, including snacks, and hot drinks between dives. Mike the owner was really friendly and good to talk to. My guide Tim was extremely experienced, and I felt safe and comfortable throughout the dive. I could go on and on, it was great.
Huge thanks to Mike, Tim, Jasmine, Nat, Jake, and Chris for a wonderful day. Will definitely see you again.
Would highly recommend this location and dive centre and will definitely be returning 😀
The dive sites are some of the best Queensland has to offer and the amount of incredible encounters I had with all sorts of animals will stay with me forever. A highlight would be diving in June with great visability and watching whales breaching during the surface interval. Also seeing my first grey nurse sharks on a trip to Cherubs Cave and Flinders Reef.
Thanks again to Mike and the team for the memories, keep up the good work!
Would highly recommend, and we'll definitely be back for other dives in the area.
Cheers guys,
James & Trudi
The surface conditions could have been better, but the Scuba World Team prioritised our safety & comfort. The dive was outstanding & the Scuba World Team - Skipper Jason, Guides Tim & Jake made it possible; very professional & safe. It's a great Boat to be on, thank you; you guys are the best.
Ben from Colorado, USA
Will definitely continue to dive with this organisation.
They provide very personalised service.
My instructor, Cameron, was very supportive and his calm manner made the students feel the same. Since being certified, I have dived the HMAS BRISBANE, on separate occasions with Tim and Chris as Dive Guides and I found them to be highly competent and professional. I felt very safe with them. Have more dives and courses booked between now and the end of this year., . if you are thinking about diving, but lack confidence, as I did, don’t let that stop you,
