The third largest city in Australia and Queensland's capital, Brisbane was once regarded as just a big country town.

Even better, good diving lies just kilomentres off shore in Moreton Bay.

Whales, Dolphins, Manta Rays, Leopard Sharks, the endangered Grey Nurse Shark and three species of Turtle are all common visitors to the Julian Rocks. All the action is just 10 minutes from Byron's main beach!
Long a popular destination for holiday-makers from around New South Wales, this seaside resort area about two hours drive north of Sydney now draws dive enthusiasts by the boat load. The attractions include rocky reefs and shoals, caves, drop- offs and a few shipwrecks. One of the most interesting sires is an old mooring area littered with the rusting old car engines, steel beams and chains that once kept the fishing fleet from drifting away. Wrasse, bream, whiting, morwong, perch, flathead and small stingrays love the place
Lord Howe is breathtakingly beautiful. At the southern end, their peaks often shrouded by mist, Mt Gower and Lidgbird soar 800 metres above the island. Below are rolling hills and cool rainforests of native kentia palms and giant banyans, the world's largest tree. The Island is also blessed with pristine white beaches.
Port Stephens (Nelson Bay) is a beautiful, relaxed holiday area located 230 km north of Sydney. This picturesque, blue-water bay is bordered by clean beaches, rugged bushland and a number of weather-beaten offshore islands. Diving outside the bay is fantastic, with plenty of reefs, deep drop-offs and a number of historic shipwrecks. Even inside the bay, the diving is great boasting three of the top shore dives on the east coast of Australia.

Cairns is the best known city on the Queensland coast, a tropical, laid-back yet modern centre. Cairns is the international gateway into Tropical North Queensland. Residents of the area are also proud to be custodians of two of the world's greatest natural treasures- the Great Barrier Reef and the Wet Tropics Rainforests. Both of these wonderful attractions are World Heritage listed, and there are very few places on Earth where two such treasures rest side by side.To scuba divers, Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef represents some of the finest and most exotic diving and snorkelling in the world. The Great Barrier Reef is a 2,300km chain of coral reefs and beyond this structure of living organisms lies the cleanest body of water on the globe!
Because of the close proximity of the Atlantic Ocean we benefit from Mediterranean conditions, but the cross-over of open ocean.
