RLS Divers

The program would not be possible without the skills and commitment of participating SCUBA divers around Australia. These divers generously donate their time and expertise, undertaking surveys as a regular part of their recreational diving life, and pass on the valuable biodiversity data collected to RLS.

Information about how to become an RLS diver and downloads of essential documents relating to RLS diver membership, support, the level system, survey methods and data entry, can be found at the Documents page.
