Nat made booking easy, and the guys onboard (the skipper, Chris & Tim) were all professional and easy to get on with. Tim led our dives down to ex HMAS Brisbane, which were awesome. We’d been once before (prior to cyclone Alfred) and we enjoyed it just as much this time. Saw plenty of sea life, and the wreck provides lots of interesting angles for photos.
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.

After my local dive shop closed down, we hunted for a new shop and came across scuba world. We’ve never looked back. Had a morning dive yesterday with Chris and Tim, the water was the calmest I’ve ever seen it! Always feel safe, welcome and always have fun. I’m still a bit anxious when I do my first dive, but they make me feel so calm and no judgement. Thanks guys, we of course will be back very soon.

This family run business is operated by true professionals. All my questions were immediately answered both pre and during the course. Nothing was too much trouble for the team. If you’re 50+, keen to learn and want the extra ‘care’ factor, these are your people. Instructor Tim reads people like he reads the ocean. The pace was never rushed. Custom built boat made ocean diving easy. Visibility in the ocean was above expectations. They also have a friendly scuba club and run international trips. Great area to stay for visitors.

Thank you Scubaworld Team for a wonderful time celebrating the 20th Anniversary of the scuttled Ex HMAS BRISBANE. As always your customer service is above and beyond. The diving although a little cool had some wonderful sights. The Octopus was charming to see and the schools of different fish were great. My biggest highlight was the Eagle Ray. The change after TC Alfred has made the dive interesting to see the power of Mother Nature. Thank you all for a wonderful weekend.

Flinders Reef trip. Excellent crew and diving! Jake, Chris and Skipper Chris took us out on a wonderful adventure to Flinders Reef! 🐟🐠🐋 It was a bit chilly and breezy but their focus on safety and driver comfort meant the day was so much fun for everyone. The room on the boat was great, gear set up, water entries and exit very easy and help there if you needed. Excellent guiding on our dives and yummy food on surface intervals. All in all a great experience! Thanks Scuba World!!

Definitely will be returning! Great Service, And Great Staff.
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.

I recently had the pleasure of diving with Scuba World Sunshine Coast, and it was an unforgettable experience! The staff were incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, ensuring that both beginners and experienced divers felt comfortable. The dive sites were breathtaking, showcasing vibrant marine life and stunning underwater landscapes. Safety was clearly a top priority, and the equipment provided was in excellent condition. I can't recommend Scuba World enough for anyone looking to explore the wonders of the ocean. Five stars all the way!

A big thank you to Mike and his crew from Scuba World on the Sunshine Coast for an enjoyable day out diving the HMAS Brisbane yesterday. Although a bit choppy getting out to the wreck it was all worth it when he got into the water and swam around and inside the wreck.... Special mention to Tim and Chris who got us out and back safely. If you're wanting to dive the HMAS then make sure you get in touch with the team at Scuba World, who will give you the support and expertise to make your diving trip enjoyable but safe.

I had the pleasure of diving with the amazing team at Scuba World over the course of a year and loved it. All of the staff are extremely friendly and professional in all aspects and I learned so much from them. Also the equipment they rent and sell is top quality.
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!

We had a brilliant day with scuba world! We booked on last minute and they were very accommodating. We had Tim as our guide and he was so great. We had our qualification but needed a bit of help so he was perfect! The facilities were amazing and the boat trip to the HMAS Brisbane was a breeze. We felt so safe on both of our dives and loved every minute. The wreck is like another world and I would highly recommend to any divers!

Thanks Mike and the team for a great dive on the ex-HMAS Brisbane wreck today. Conditions were challenging, however the crew's knowledge of the site and their attention to detail ensured that at no time I felt unsafe or unable to complete both dives. We were given clear instructions on what to do when entering the ocean and guided throughout the dive to guarantee we had the best experience possible. As a new senior woman Scuba Diver I emerged today with new skills and confidence. Thank you.

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,

I'm extremely impressed with the team at Scuba World. Fantastic communication leading up to and on the day of the dive, and a brilliant dive team on the day. Friendly and knowledgeable crew made my first ocean dive easy and enjoyable on a double-dive on the ex-HMAS Brisbane. A minor loan equipment issue meant I lost a fair bit of dive time on the day, but the owner (Mike) demonstrated top-level customer service in addressing the issue and remedying it above and beyond my expectations. I'll be returning to Scuba World for more dives and any equipment needs without any hesitation, and will recommend them to anybody wanting to dive, learning to dive or for any equipment.

From Bella in reception to Chris, the dive master and Chris the boat Captain.
We had a perfect morning, preparing from 0800 and then proceeding to the boat for the transfer to ex HMAS Brisbane. À perfectly positioned ex Australian Navy destroyer that was sunk off the Mooloolaba coast.
Two dives, great instructions and friendly atmosphere.
During our surface time between dives, plenty to consume, soups, biscuits, lollies, water, coffee, tea all provided.
Second dive was just as fascinating with an abundance of sea-life.
Great dive shop, good facilities, plenty of merchandise and courses to attend and advance to. I would totally recommend this company and I wouldn’t bother exploring others in the event they don’t stack up.
Thanks team for a great day and memories. Brad.

We were pampered with warm shower on the boat, hot soup and snacks, and even a warm towel after the second dive - tell me about being spoiled. Water temp was 20°C and we were fine with 7mm wetsuit. It was a lovely day and we couldn’t recommend more!

Recently we had the pleasure of diving on the Ex HMAS Brisbane with Scuba World and Mike as our guide. He was very knowledgeable and experienced, and he made sure that we were comfortable with everything before we even got in the water.
The dive itself was amazing. The wreck is in great condition, and there is so much to see. We saw all sorts of marine life, including a large assortment of fish, rays, octopus and even a youg green turtle. Mike was always there to point things out and answer my questions. As a ex RAN sailor I was impressed how respectful and knowledgeable the crew was without going OTT.
We had a great time on the dive, and I would definitely recommend Scuba World and Mike to anyone who wants to dive the Brissy. The whole boat crew were both professional and experienced, and they will make sure that you have a safe and enjoyable experience.
The surface interval hot spray and snacks were just right and the warm face cloths after the second dive topped the dive off just right.
Scuba World is a great company. They are professional, experienced, and they have a great reputation. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who wants to try a wreck dive.
