Sunreef, Immerse Yourself

Set on Queensland's Sunshine Coast, Sunreef holds the distinction of being the only PADI 5-Star Instructor Development Centre on the coast and ranks among Australia's leading marine tourism operators. With more than 35 years behind them and a team of 20 PADI Instructors, they're well placed to guide divers of every level to the region's standout sites aboard one of their three purpose-built dive vessels.

Dive sites and what Sunreef is known for

The signature dive is the Ex-HMAS Brisbane, a 133m wreck just a 15-minute boat ride away. One of Australia's best-scuttled ships, she sits upright as an artificial reef cloaked in hard and soft corals, home to over 350 species of marine life. With an instructor on every boat, even Open Water Divers can explore the whole ship, from the stack at 5m to the stern at 27m.

Beyond the wreck, Sunreef visits Flinders Reef, Queensland's most accessible Grey Nurse Shark dive, and runs Australia's first Swim with Humpback Whale experience from July to October. With onsite training facilities, Nitrox, equipment rental and conservation programs, it suits everyone from first-timers to seasoned divers.
