We have dived with the Dive Victoria team on several occasions over the 2 years since gaining our Open Water certification. This is a mooth operation with good people and well set up to run their business smoothly. Dive Victoria have helped us gain some skills under the pier or go see a Wobbegong shark outside of the heads.
Their dive confirmation line is a great concept nd means you can phone in the morning of your dive before leaving home in case weather conditions have changed. They also have a great website with itinerary planned well in advance and clearly marked prices which I like so there are no hidden surprises.
The last time we dived, we got on the boat at Portsea and met a friend from teh other side of town at Queenscliff (Dive Vic have an office over there too and will pick up people from that side regularly), then all went and dived together around the bay for the day - great fun!
They have gear for hire or take your own
