Scuba Obsession operates under a Commercial Operations Licence issued by the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA), authorising the business to conduct guided diving, snorkelling, and marine tourism activities within Western Australia’s national parks, marine parks, and conservation reserves.
This licence ensures all operations meet the environmental, safety, and visitor‑experience standards required under the Conservation and Land Management Act 1984.
Holding this licence demonstrates Scuba Obsession’s commitment to ecologically sustainable tourism, responsible marine interaction, and high‑quality service delivery. DBCA licensing enables operators to provide nature‑based tourism experiences while ensuring conservation values are protected and visitor access remains safe, equitable, and well‑managed.
As a licensed operator, Scuba Obsession complies with DBCA’s Commercial Operator Handbook, which outlines mandatory conditions for marine operations, environmental protection, wildlife interaction protocols, and risk‑management obligations. The handbook must be carried onboard vessels at all times and forms part of the legal framework governing commercial activities on DBCA‑managed lands and waters.
