Overall Ratings

Our PADI 5 Star Dive Centre is situated on the Tasman Peninsula in southeastern Tasmania at only 1 hour from Hobart. Eaglehawk neck is the gateway to the spectacular Three Capes Track or the historical site of Port Arthur Convict settlement. We can offer you a great diversity of world-class scuba diving sites in this area, including the famous Cathedral Cave, the historic wreck SS “Nord”, or the magical sponge garden at Sisters’ rocks. Come and dive with very playful Fur Seals or meet the bizarre Weedy Seadragon. We have sites suitable for divers of all levels of experience from novice to technical. Our staff, several of whom are marine biologists, have extensive local knowledge from thousands of hours spent diving around the Tasmanian coast, and include professional underwater photographers and videographers.

Photos do not justify Tasman National Park (situated on the Tasman Peninsula), it is far more spectacular and breathtaking in person, no wonder it’s a popular tourist destination. Finding the park is very easy, we left Hobart and headed to Port Arthur by the Arthur Highway – an advisable, welcoming stop while traveling to Port Arthur. There are plenty of large road signs clearly displayed (you can’t miss them) along the highway for tourists to easily locate the monumental rock formations - Tessellated Pavement, Tasman Arch and Devils Kitchen. Free parking is available – I have found that if you do take part in this activity, then it is best to start in the morning (we started our travels at 9am), you will definitely find parking, as time goes by, this place becomes very busy. Safe, easy walking trails or bushwalks are provided for scenic walks - perfect photo opportunities and lots of flora to be seen and if you’re lucky enough fauna too. You could easily take a few hours just to absorb the beauty, reading and learning the history of the place and how the rock formations formed (you will find information at scenic points-of-interest, giving the history of the place) while enjoying the walk at the same time. It is advisable to wear comfortable walking shoes as the gravel could be slippery and sunscreen and a hat to avoid getting sunburnt as the sun reflects off the water and a bottle of water. What to wear? We visited the park in December, the Summer weather in Tasmania is like Autumn weather, fresh in the mornings and evenings but can get rather hot during the day, especially if you are planning to walk along the trails. To make your visit more enjoyable, comfortable and practical, layered dressing is the way to go, so you can take layers of clothing off when needed. There was also a ‘Doo-Lishus’ van, where you can buy a range of ice-creams (in cups or ice-cream cones) mixed berries with ice-cream and cream in a cup is very refreshing and delicious, drinks of hot snacks (‘National Meat Pies’, as well as fish and chips, etc) – I’m not too sure if this service is available throughout the year? What is more spectacular about this place? It is all for FREE!
