Boat Diving

Located just one hour north of Sydney, midway between Sydney and Newcastle, Pro-Dive Central Coast operates daily (weather permitting) trips to the ex HMAS Adelaide and other spectacular dive sites in the area.

With our trailered dive boat we are able to launch from Norah Head, Terrigal and Davistown. This gives us a greater range of sites to dive with shorter boat runs to increase diver comfort and minimise clients travel times. Our boat, "Snappy Tom" is a fast, reliable and above all very comfortable twin hulled Rigid inflatable diveboat. Capable of carrying 10 divers and 2 crew for double dives. Custom built from the keels up, specifically as a dive boat for the Australian East coast waters.

Pro-Dive Central Coast offers single and double (1 and 2 tank) dives to local reefs and local dive wrecks. We have over 420 dive sites to visit, ranging from shallow discarded wreck sites and reefs, to underwater caves, overhangs, swim throughs and offshore island reefs.

Ex HMAS Adelaide dives depart from Terrigal Haven boat ramp next to the "Haven Seafoods Kiosk"

Bookings are essential to ensure a spot on this popular wreck.

Local Reef Boat Dives.

Whether you're a seasoned diver or a novice, looking to embark on an underwater adventure, Central Coast Divers offer you an exciting opportunity to explore the mesmerising marine world right in your backyard.

One of the most enticing aspects of local boat dives is the sense of exploration-
The Central Coast boasts a diverse range of dive sites, from kelp forests to rocky reefs, each with its own unique ecosystem and marine life.
As you descend the anchor line into the depths, you will encounter colourful kelp forests swaying with the current, curious blue Gropers, playful schools of yellowtail, with a stunning array of fish species, and if you look carefully in between the rocky nooks and crannies, you may very well find a vibrant Bleekers Blue Devil Fish whilst the majestic Grey Nurse sharks along with sleeping Wobbegong sharks and other reef fishes swim about gracefully.

But that's just the beginning of your underwater journey.
Our expert guides know exactly where to find the most breathtaking marine encounters, including rare sightings of Port Jackson sharks, elegant eagle rays, and the occasional passing manta ray during warmer months.
The vibrant temperate water coral formations create a kaleidoscope of colours that transform with changing light conditions, offering photographers endless opportunities for stunning underwater imagery.

Our Reef Boat Dives are meticulously planned to maximise your experience while prioritising safety.

We provide comprehensive briefings, quality equipment, and personalised attention to ensure even novice divers feel confident exploring these underwater wonders. The memories you will create—from discovering hidden sea caves to witnessing the intricate dance of marine life in their natural habitat—will last a lifetime and have you booking your next dive before you've even dried off.

Double dive excludes tanks or rental gear
