Snorkelling and Diving by Student GroupsSnorkelling is a major attraction for student groups at the Lizard Island Research Station. To enhance safety, formal snorkelling regulations for groups apply. Personnel requirements for snorkelling by groups are outlined in the link below. High quality snorkelling equipment, including wetsuits, is available for hire at the Research Station and many student groups take advantage of this facility. The Station is fully equipped to support SCUBA diving by researchers but this activity is often not possible for student groups because the Station operates under occupational scuba diving regulations. These exclude people younger than 18 years and require a certain level of logged experience. For student groups whose members do qualify as divers under the Station's scuba diving regulations, additional requirements may be imposed by the Diving Officer depending upon the level of experience in the group. For example, a divemaster or dive instructor may be required to lead dives carried out by the group. As well, additional fees will apply. Relevant links
