You will need to submit a dive plan in advance to ensure your trip is safe and productive.
We recommend you discuss your trip outline and dive plan with us.
Submit your dive plan
Follow our steps to complete your dive plan.
1. Check qualifications
Ensure all divers have registered with us and have current certification and qualifications.
2. Submit your dive plan form
Appoint an appropriately qualified and experienced diver to act as dive supervisor.
The dive supervisor must complete our dive plan form, which covers your:
- dive plan
- risk assessment and hazard checklist
- emergency plans.
Email your completed form to us at central.boating.diving@uq.edu.au.
Send it a minimum of five working days before your dive date to allow for adjustments.
If you need to make changes, such as dive dates or diver substitutions once you’ve submitted it, email us. Substitute divers must have the same or higher qualifications than the original diver nominated on the form.
Discuss your approved dive plan with all divers and crew before you dive.
3. Complete your risk assessment
Complete your risk assessment in line with UQ procedures using UQSafe-Risk.
4. Create your off-campus work plan
Attach your approved dive plan, emergency procedures outline and risk assessment to your off-campus work plan.
5. Check UQ policy
Dive supervisors must ensure their group's activities adhere to UQ's procedures and guidelines for diving safety.
