One of Queensland's most popular attractions is unquestionably the Great Barrier Reef.
With it's colourful coral formations, beautiful marine life and year-round moderate water temperatures, the reef is a must-see for everybody.
If you plan on diving the Great Barrier Reef, you may need to first pass a Diving Medical test. Our Doctors are there to provide these at times to fit in with your travel
schedule.
There are two types of Diving Medicals that we conduct. The first is an "Open Water Diving Medical' or an AS 4005.1.
This Medical is suitable for those who are recreational Divers. Upon completion, you receive a certificate of fitness which is valid for 12 months from the date of issue. You do not need to make an appointment to have an Open Water Medical, just come in to our Practice and we will ensure you are seen to promptly. A full consultation will take approximately 30 - 45 minutes. This examination is not
Medicare refundable.
If
you have any Medical conditions/problems or are
pregnant, please remember to mention these at the
time of your consultation.
The Second type of
Diving Medical we perform is an "Occupational Diving
Medical" or an AS 2299-1992. This Medical is
suitable only for those who work in the diving
industry, such as Dive Instructors. The
Medical is a little more involved than an Open
Water, and can take between 45 minutes to an hour to
complete. Once issued, the certificate is
valid for 12 months. An appointment is not
necessary. This is not a Medicare refundable
service.
