Dive Medicine Course

Discover the world of dive medicine while exploring the pristine waters of the Great Barrier Reef. 

The Course  

The 2025 Dive Medicine Course is an experience designed to immerse participants in an offshore diving environment whilst learning about the fundamentals of dive medicine.

Departing Cairns, you will travel to the outer reef and spend five days aboard the liveaboard vessel Reef Encounter.

The course is perfect for the clinician looking to deepen their understanding of dive medicine, whilst enjoying some of the best diving Australia has to offer.

You may participate as a certified diver or if you are new to diving, obtain your open water certification.

The course is claimable as CPD for paramedicine, nursing and medicine.
