Boat Dives
Dive Trip - Go Dive Tasmania
We aim to provide certified divers a premium Tasmanian boat diving experience
Tasmania has some of Australia's finest temperate water diving. With locations that boast some of the best examples of the Great Southern Reef, from shallow kelp beds to deep reefs. You can find Weedy Sea Dragons, Fur Seals, Southern Rock Lobster and abundance of other local sea life across many dives.
Our underwater topography makes us extra special, with large pinnacles rising from the deep to huge sea caves begging to be explored. Tasmania is the ideal diving location, what are you waiting for?
To dive with us you must be a certified diver and hold the minimum equivalent of Open Water Certification and only book dives that you are suitably qualified for. All dives will outline the required certification and depth expected.
