We run four social dives over the weekend, Saturday and Sunday mornings and afternoons.

Our morning shore dive is nice and simple, meeting at the shop at 8:30 am and usually leaving around 9 (depending on how much chatter is going on). We normally dive the Gutter at Bass Point- one of our favourite places to dive. From there we can reach a whole bunch of different places, our main attraction being the Blue Devil cave.

At the Devil cave we can see an Eastern Blue Devil fish, and depending on the time of year there could be a baby Weedy sea dragon or perhaps some calamari eggs, there could be some spiders scuttling about or shrimp hiding in a crevice and chances are you’ll see some nudibranchs lazing around.

In the afternoons we run more adventurous dives for those up to the challenge! To attend the afternoon dive we ask that you come on the morning dive first just so our dive master can get a good idea of your experience. So in the afternoon we may take the scooters for a rip or we might take the twin tanks for a dip or we might combine the two for a scooter/ twin dive just to mix things up! The options are never ending! We have eleven scooters ready to go, this is truly something unique to try! And we also have a whole bunch of twin tanks with manifolds in hire, it couldn’t be any easier! We once did a twin trip ranging five and half kilometres!! Get in on the action and try them for yourself you never know what you’ll find! Our local seal, Alex loves to play with people on the scooters when he isn’t trying to catch his lunch! Depending on conditions we may be able to dive Kiama and do the caves off Kendall’s beach or if your really lucky the Kiama blow hole. Or you might go for an exploratory dive off The Gutter and see what you can come across.
