Common Sydney diving questions

Short answers to the questions that most often determine what to book next.

Do I need a dive medical?

A doctor's dive medical is not automatically required for every activity. Before training, every learner completes a participant questionnaire. Doctor clearance is needed when answers or a particular course requirement call for it.

Check the medical questionnaire and next steps.

Can I join a dive without a buddy?

Yes. Solo bookings are welcome on suitable guided dates. Abyss can help form an appropriate buddy team based on certification, recent experience, confidence and the requirements of the dive. This is buddy matching, not solo diving.

Find a suitable dive or view live dates.

What should I book if I have not dived for a while?

Your certification does not expire, but the right return depends on recent experience, comfort and skills rather than the calendar alone. If core skills or equipment setup no longer feel familiar, start with a supported refresher.

Compare refresher options.

What happens if weather or sea conditions are unsuitable?

Safety comes first. The guide or skipper may change the site or dive plan when conditions require a safer option. If Abyss cancels, the outcome follows the conditions for that specific course, dive or trip.

See current dive conditions and booking terms.

Can I hire scuba equipment?

Yes. Rental equipment is available for many courses and guided dives. Inclusions vary, so check the exact activity listing and arrange any required sizes before the day.
