• The Australian Government requires a Dive Medical to be completed by a doctor familiar with dive practices and in compliance with Australian standards AS4005.1 to be passed before you can begin your Open Water training dives.  

• A Dive medical can be completed at The Cairns 24 Hour Medical centre on the corner of Grafton and Florence Street.  The medical fee is AU$44.00. 
  (Please note: On the Tusa Dive 4 day Learn to Dive Course the Diving Doctor will visit you at the facility on Day 1).
