Scuba World

Scuba World is an SSI Platinum Training Centre located at The Wharf, Mooloolaba on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast. Its present owner, Instructor Trainer, Ian McKinnon, established Scuba World in 1980. For more than 27 years, Scuba World’s 100 per cent safety record is one of the finest in the recreational diving industry. Scuba World’s location is unique.

Scuba World has its own on site training tank, which it uses to teach all levels of diver certification, as well as a modern classroom with marina views and a large retail store, which sells the world’s most popular brands of diving equipment. Scuba World specialises in fully escorted Shark Dives for both divers and non-divers at UnderWater World and conducts exciting dives to the ex-HMAS Brisbane Conservation Park for certified divers. Scuba World is located right on the marina at The Wharf complex next door to UnderWater World. Scuba World holds a Queensland Government Permit to operate commercial dive trips to the Ex-HMAS Brisbane.
