North QLD Underwater Explorers Club

We conduct regular dive trips and social activities to locations such as Cairns and the Atherton Tablelands, Mission Beach, Pelorus Island, Orpheus Island, Magnetic Island, Bowen, and the Whitsundays, and various reefs along this section of the North QLD coast.

But it’s not all about diving either, we’re friendly and welcoming, with a social events calendar that includes BBQs and get-togethers. We also look after the marine environment by taking part in Clean up Australia Day. NQUEC membership gives you access to all club dive trips and social events, subsidies from our insurance provider to undertake dive safety training courses, access to equipment, programs, and training secured through Government grants, regular email and webpage updates, mentoring by experienced divers (if required), and most importantly, being part of a group means we can put you in touch with like-minded folks within the North QLD dive community!

As our club name suggests, we conduct exploratory diving over both single day outings and extended trips over several days to islands and reefs in our area. We plan trips to maximise our time away around public holidays and weekends, and we combine shore based trips with camping to cater for other outdoor persuits. We also make use of both commercial charter boats and private vessels for dedicated dive trips.
