Welcome to
GOLD COAST DIVE & SNORKEL
About Us
When we started this Community, it was about reaching out to people who love the ocean as much as we do. Whether you've been diving for twenty years or you've never even put on a snorkel, there is a place for you here.
We ’re lucky to have some of the world’s best diving right here on the Gold Coast. That’s why we host free local meet ups, to keep the community connected.
For those looking to go further, we also head off on Adventures Nationally and Internationally.
We look forward to seeing you soon!

This is a great group who organise so many events and trips for its members. Everything is easy, there are so many great dive and snorkel buddies! Apart from meeting like-minded people, its great to have cost effective AUS and international trips on offer.

If you’ve never been part of a GCDS trip, OMG…Do yourself a “Bucket List” favour!!! If you have then I’m preaching to the converted. I found each trip to be heavily underpinned by side-splitting hilarity, awesome group camaraderie and exceptional organisation. George & Sharon are the perfect hosts…so glad to know them and to be apart of such a dynamic group.
