Join our guided diving adventures to see bright coral gardens, spectacular drop offs and thriving marine life. These tours are ideal for certified divers who want to make the most of their time here. We keep our group groups small (no more than six divers) to provide a more personalised, safe and fun experience. Each tour includes all necessary equipment, boat transfers, and the knowledge of a local diving guide who knows the area inside and out. Choose between half-day and full-day choices, and let the ocean do the rest.
No experience? No problem! Our introductory dives are specially designed for first timers who want to experience the thrill of breathing underwater in a safe, supportive environment. You'll begin with a relaxing safety briefing and some basic skills practice in shallow water, followed by a guided reef dive with one of our experienced instructors by your side at all times. It's the ideal way to dip your fins into the world of scuba diving — and we can even capture the moment with underwater images to help you remember your first dive excursion. It’s suitable for ages 12 and up.
Take your diving to the next level with our internationally recognised certification courses, taught by experienced and accredited instructors. Whether you're starting with your Open Water certification or advancing to more technical levels, our courses combine practical, "in water" training with easy to follow theory sessions. We keep our student to instructor ratios low so that you receive the attention and support you require at every stage. Flexible scheduling allows you to learn at your own pace while exploring the spectacular reefs and diving locations.
Perfect for non divers, families, or anyone who prefers to stay near the surface, our snorkelling tours offer an up close look at the vibrant reef ecosystems just below the waves. You'll be led to quiet, shallow areas teeming with marine life – great for both novice and experienced snorkelers. We provide all equipment and offer a pre tour briefing to make you feel confident and comfortable in the water. Snorkelling on Lord Howe Island is a relaxing and lovely way to explore the water, whether you're swimming above colourful corals or looking for turtles and reef fish.
Are you looking for a more personal or custom experience? Our private dive and snorkel charters are designed to give you complete flexibility — perfect for couples, families, or small groups. You’ll enjoy exclusive use of the boat, a personalised itinerary, and the undivided attention of your dive guide or instructor. Whether you're celebrating something special or just want to explore at your own pace, a private charter is the ultimate way to experience the island’s marine beauty in comfort and style.
Want to take the memories home with you? Our underwater photography packages allow you to relive your dive even after you've emerged. A professional grade camera setup and skilled instructors ensure that you obtain high quality images and movies of your dive or snorkel excursion, whether it's your first or 50th. This add on is available for both group excursions and private charters, and is ideal for documenting marine life encounters, family moments or simply spectacular photos beneath the surface.
We use high quality, well maintained dive and snorkel gear to ensure every adventure is safe, smooth, and comfortable. Our equipment, including wetsuits and regulators, is repaired on a regular basis and kept ready for the reef.
Our team brings years of experience, local knowledge, and a deep love for the ocean to every dive. No matter if you're just starting out or you've been diving for years, you'll receive guidance that's both thoughtful and expert.
