Description

Dive Lord Howe is a PADI Dive Centre located on the stunning Lord Howe Island — a UNESCO World Heritage site and true diving paradise.

Situated off Australia’s east coast, Lord Howe Island is one of the world’s most unspoiled and picturesque islands, surrounded by a New South Wales Marine Park. Here, warm tropical waters meet cooler southern currents, creating a rare and vibrant underwater ecosystem — a unique blend of tropical and temperate marine species.

The island is renowned for its cleanliness and pristine natural beauty, making it an exceptional destination for nature lovers and ocean explorers alike.

Right outside the dive centre, the island’s sparkling lagoon — bordered by the world’s southernmost coral reef — offers fantastic conditions for snorkellers, divers, and underwater photographers. With average depths of 5–8 metres, long bottom times, and abundant marine life, the lagoon is an ideal place to learn to dive.

Just 15 minutes by boat to the north lie the Admiralty Islands — dramatic volcanic formations that host over 30 incredible dive sites. Here, you’ll explore a variety of underwater landscapes, from towering pinnacles and coral walls to boulder fields and hidden caves. The Admiralty Islands are a highlight of any diving trip to Lord Howe, offering crystal-clear waters, vibrant hard and soft corals, large schools of fish, and rare and endemic species. Dive depths range from 15 to 40 metres, catering to both recreational and more experienced divers.
