Meet the locals
Looking for the best scuba diving in Australia?
Nelson Bay is a world-class dive spot with some of the most beautiful marine life you’ll ever see. The area has been declared a Marine Park, so it’s protected from fishing and other harmful activities. You can swim alongside turtles, dolphins, and even humpback whales (if your lucky)! It’s an experience unlike any other.
Fly Point is one of our favorite spots to take divers because there are so many different types of fish here. We love taking people out on these dives because they never forget them! If you want to see what all the fuss is about, book your next trip with us today!
