Scuba diving and snorkelling

Scuba diving at Blairgowrie

Slip on a pair of flippers in Port Phillip Bay for a snorkel. Or head to the popular diving centres of Sorrento and Portsea on the Mornington Peninsula and Queenscliff on the Bellarine Peninsula, or the famous Great Ocean Road.

Underwater Victoria offers a rich diversity of marine life, from starfish, sea squirts, soft corals and sea dragons, that can be experienced during shore and boat dives, in shipwrecks, drop offs, and reefs.

Learn to dive with local operators that offer open water novice diver up to the professional level courses under the guidance of a fully qualified and experienced instructor.

SCUBA diving is a potentially high-risk activity and should only be undertaken by appropriately qualified people that have completed recognised training and certification. Victoria's cool water environments can be extremely challenging to those used to diving in warmer waters so seek local knowledge before you dive in a new location. Dive charter operators can provide some of the best advice on diving in Victoria.
