The JCU Dive Club was established over 20 years ago and is now one of the largest clubs at James Cook University, with more than 200 members. The club became incorporated in 1999, allowing for greater flexibility, independence, and safety for it's members.

We have our own clubhouse located next to the university swimming pool where social events are often held.
Safety is a priority in the Dive Club, and the club and its member's are under the safety of the international Diver's Alert Network (DAN) organisation.
The Dive Club is fully self-sufficient; we have two compressors, a boat, tanks, weight belts, BCD's, regulators, wetsuits, masks, snorkels, and fins. These are provided on trips, or can be hired out on a personal basis (excluding the boat and compressors).
The Club is run by a minimum of eight executive members, voted in by our members at the Annual General Meeting (AGM).
Typically, the executive consists of a president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer, safety officer, boat officer, social officer, and equipment officer. This will vary each year, depending on each executive's strengths and weaknesses.
We encourage new members who are keen to promote diving to seek positions in the executive.
