25.01.2022 It truly has been awesome diving recently with typical winter weather bringing out the clear waters and loads of humpback whale interactions close to vessels. Flinders Reef has been visited often recently, with divers clamoring to go back often. Looking forward to vising some Grey Nurse Shark sites soon! Bring it on diving SE QLD! Get your wetsuit on and head to your local dive centre! (Or maybe in the reverse order :-) )

24.01.2022 Very exciting to see the mantas are already popping in this season! Lets hope we can see them all summer long! Don't leave it to the last weeks to catch sight of these stunners!

23.01.2022 Hi Divers, We are the lucky ones. This virus is unlikely to be chasing us around underwater at 10m, and Dive Centre compressors (Legislation requires they are all tested every 3 months at a minimum to ensure safe and healthy function) do a marvelous job of filtering and sanitizing the air that we breathe. However Dive Trips, Dive Boats, Dive Courses and Dive Travel are already under pressure and effect from this virus, and will likely get even more so.... Here in South East QLD, the dive industry is small and intimate. We all know each other, and would hate to see any business/centre/instructor 'go under'. So with that in mind, with any changes going forward, can we suggest: POSTPONE - Please don't CANCEL. Keep your course/trip/ travel in mind as a fantastic goal when we all come out the other side of this event. As a very social, fun and engaging sport, we want to see as many dive businesses, dive professionals and recreational divers come out the other side, rather than lose them. Please continue to support your local dive centre (LDS). If you cannot or wish not to come in-store - call or use their online website. Stay positive, stay safe, keep diving, and we hope to see you underwater.

22.01.2022 HAPPY 15th SINKING ANNIVERSARY: "D41" "The Steel Cat" "Fighting Forty-One"... ex Navy Destroyer: HMAS Brisbane Sunk this day 15 years ago, settling beautifully on the sand in 27m, just offshore from Mooloolabah, Sunshine Coast, QLD. Many seasons later she sits serene and covered in marine life. A short piece of footage from a particularly memorable dive day in late 2017. https://youtu.be/eTgtHh6_f34

22.01.2022 Check out these amazing shots Dive with Passion caught at South West Rocks this weekend past. The water was chilly, green and murky, and we saw so very much! Great shots Dominik!

20.01.2022 Spots have opened back up for this Saturday’s double dive, with good weather forecast it’s a great time to catch the whales.

20.01.2022 Last chance to book for tomorrow night's presentation at QUT

15.01.2022 Sunday 22nd at Flinders Reef: Some very happy Open Water divers seeing Grey Nurse Sharks at Flinders Reef, along with all the coral and Turtles on their last two qualifying dives for their certificate. What a way to start their dive history!!

14.01.2022 Sometimes the less known and less visited sites bring out the best in the area. Whale Rock North Stradbroke Island.

14.01.2022 Looks like the divers at Manta Bommie had a great couple of dives this weekend past! Manta, Leopard Sharks and more!! Got to love these summer visitors!

11.01.2022 Flinders Reef sharing its underwater delights!

10.01.2022 Guys and Girls can you please spare a few moments to help us get some diver access stairs for the Tweed dive site. The stairs at the Seaway are amazing, lets get the other major shore dive site in the south some love. http://chng.it/tZgCVzRPTp

07.01.2022 So good to see divers back in the water, after months dry, enjoying the best time of the year. Sure its colder than summer, but clear days, calmed seas and clearer water makes Winter diving here awesome. Support your local dive shop and get out there in it!

06.01.2022 When the Great South East goes off..... It really makes a moment of it. Reports all weekend of calm seas and clear waters, with many divers getting amongst it! We have some of the reports here! Saturday 21st at North Straddie: ... Mantas galore for Open Water Course students on their first ocean dives, and rusty divers getting back into the water after a long break! See more

06.01.2022 Well, it's not one you can dive on at current - but here is some interesting history on the Cambus Wallace - and how North & South Strradbroke Island came to be. http://maritimemuseumsaustralia.com//whiskey-dynamite-and-

06.01.2022 Saturday 21st at Cook Island: Some very happy photographers joined another Open Water Diver for his first dives in the ocean at Cook Island, just over the border (and the border crossing back into QLD wasn't a nuisance - good timing with early morning dives!

03.01.2022 Great to see the Mantas starting to be spotted at Mantaray Bommie - could they back for the summer already - even before the water warms up?

02.01.2022 If you are anything like us then you probably have a love/hate relationship with Christmas and are looking forward to it all being over! Want something to look forward to and help you get through the over eating and family obligation? How about booking on to one of our wicked day trips THIS WEEKEND? For your diving pleasure this weekend we have two sensational day trips. Saturday features the return of a crowd favourite which we have not dived at since the liveaboard left Mor...eton Bay for good... FLINDERS REEF!! Regarded by many as the Southern most point of the Great Barrier Reef it is actually biologically and ecologically as diverse if not more so than the GBR and boasts the best turtle cleaning station in the country! Then on Sunday not to be out done by Saturday's triumphant return to Flinders w are headed to our favourite local for one last double dive in 2019, Wolf Rock at Rainbow Beach. We are at the tail end of mating season now and soon all of the males will depart and be replaced by pregnant females starting their gestation period. Aside from Grey Nurse sharks you can also expect to see leopard sharks, white spotted guitarfish, blotched fantail rays, HUGE schools of fish and so much more! You NEVER know what you will see at Wolf!
