Thank you for your booking.
We would like to confirm your PADI Open Water Course with a PADI Instructor. We will be in contact with you on the evening prior to your dive after our final weather check around 6.00 pm to confirm the tour.
Terms & Conditions
Subsurface Scuba regards a booking as a firm commitment. Your booking is subject to the following terms & conditions. Full payment must be received to process & confirm your booking.
No refunds will be provided after payment has been accepted. You will receive a credit in the event of a dive charter cancellation due to weather. If you change the date of your dive charter outside of 48 hours of your departure time you will incur a $20 administration fee. Cancellations or transfers inside of 48 hours of your dive charter departure will incur a cancellation fee of the dive charter price only unless a legitimate medical document can be produced to Subsurface Scuba within five (5) business days. If you can produce this medical you will receive an opportunity to re-book your dive charter and there will be no administration costs incurred.
Dive Day Requirements
- If you are certified, it is mandatory that you bring your dive certification card. We will also like to see your log book on the day of your dive.
- You will be required to complete a Diver Record form before you dive with Subsurface Scuba.
- You will not be permitted to dive if you haven’t dived within the last two (2) years. You can complete a Scuba Skills Update at a discounted price with Subsurface Scuba.
- You will not be permitted to dive if you use alcohol or drugs prior to diving.
- You will not be permitted to continue to dive if you place your dive computer into error mode.
- You agree to abide at all times accepted safe diving practices and no decompression limits.
Equipment & Safety
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

Why do we have this policy?
When you make a reservation on a course, administrative costs are incurred and bookings are made by us with the pool, our boat & instructors. Subsurface Scuba will hold the course place for you and turn others away who would like to book in your place. With transfers of dates and cancellations, it is unlikely your place can be re-sold. Cancellations mid-course are not eligible for partial refunds as Subsurface Scuba has already paid for the pool, boat and instructors for their service required to run the course.
