Adventure Island

Pristine temperate waters
On the edge of the great Southern Ocean, Tasmania’s marine environments contain some of the most biologically diverse and unique floras and faunas in the world. The island’s spectacular coastline and clear, pristine waters have all the ingredients for superb diving.

Well-travelled divers regard Tasmania as the best temperate-water dive site in the world. And it’s easy to see why: forests of giant kelp up to 30 metres high, excellent visibility, exceptional sea caves, exquisite sea dragons, and an abundance of deep-sea creatures enticed into the shallows by plankton-rich waters close to shore.

Reefs and wrecks
Tasmania’s varied coast – all 5,400 kilometres of it – includes rocky shores with extensive reefs, more than three hundred islands, marine reserves, sheltered sandy inlets and bays, dramatic underwater caves and historic shipwrecks. Many of Tasmania’s known shipwreck sites are in wild and remote locations – joining the experts at one of our experienced local dive companies is the best way to enjoy a Tasmanian diving adventure.
