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!

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.
