Underwater Adventures Tasmania provides you with an opportunity to explore this extraordinary and unique underwater world year-round, whether you're an experienced scuba diver or beginner snorkeller. We also visit the rainforests of the sea - the kelp forests on the outside of Bruny Island, as well as a range of other dive sites in SE Tasmania. Your boat for the day is a 10m Powercat with cabin, flybridge and all facilities for your comfort: hot and cold running water, toilet, hand-shower, stove and fridge. We depart from the Hobart waterfront, so you don't have to spend time or money travelling to a dive centre and you get to relax and enjoy the scenic trip down the Derwent River to the dive site. All scuba and snorkelling gear, including warm wetsuits, is available for hire and we load it onto the boat in advance for you. We carry charts and guidebooks on board for those who're keen to know where they're going and what they're looking at, and we provide refreshments using local seasonal produce. « less

“A Perfect Way to See Tasmania Underwater”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 13, 2012

We spent a day diving at the Tinderbox Marine Reserve with Underwater Adventures, and loved it! I have dived all over Malaysia and in several spots on the Great Barrier Reef, and UA's dive master Sue ranks as one of the best I have ever had the pleasure to dive with. The preparations for the dives were very thorough, and... More

Thanks so much for that feedback. I'm pleased you loved Tinderbox Marine Reserve. It's my favourite place to dive because of the wide range of marine life, and I really enjoy sharing it with visiting divers. And it's a treat having it so close to Hobart! More
