Scuba Diving with Dive Forster
All of our SCUBA dives are escorted by experienced, knowledgeable PADI Divemasters and Instructors.
Our main attraction is our year 'round population of Grey Nurse Sharks. Seal Rocks in particular is famous for it's "more sharks than water" days.
Our boat, the TSMV Avanti (Italian for fast) is purpose built for SCUBA Diving, with two side exits and two boarding ladders. The tank racks are located in the middle of the boat, allowing for easy movement around the deck and comfortable gearing up. Our boat is by far one of the best day charter boats on the coast, and with two brand new engines she's faster and smoother than ever.
We dive everyday, weather and seas permitting.
Our dive sites here at Forster are among some of the best in the world. And with our boat going out everyday, you've got no reason to miss out.
Worried about accommodation? We offer our own facilities: a 5 bedroom share house situated right in the heart of Forster and only 2 minutes drive (10 minutes stroll) to the Dive Centre.
We cater for groups and visiting Dive Centres.
Our boat takes a maximum of 16 divers; if you're from a Dive Centre or Dive Club and you're thinking about a group trip to Forster, we offer weekend and midweek packages including accommodation.
We always conduct our dives in the morning as this is when the seas are usually calmest and the diving the best.
Weekends are often booked out months in advance by Scuba diving groups. Please try to book as early as you can to avoid disappointment.
We'd love to have you dive with us!
If you need to hire gear, thats no problem. We'll fit your wetsuit, and at the end of the day you'll receive maps of the divesites we showed you.
We also have a huge range of SCUBA Diving equipment. Dive Forster at Fisherman's Wharf is an authorised Oceanic dealer. We offer an exclusive "try before you buy" opportunity if you're interested in purchasing equipment!*

Looking forward to showing you the fantastic diving here up at Forster,
The Dive Forster Team.
