Terrigal Dive Centre is ideally located between Sydney and Newcastle overlooking the tranquil waters of Terrigal Haven where we have taught SCUBA diving at all levels since 1968.
You can change at our dive centre - no more car park boot changes, we have hot showers on your return, bottomless coffee, a gear washing tub, tank re-fills and much more.
Easy access to the dive boats.
It is a 25 metre walk on a concrete path with a slight gradient to the boat ramp and beach and directly onto the dive boats. Also there is ample parking adjacent to the Terrigal Haven.

Why should you dive with Terrigal Dive?
Location: We are ideally situated at Terrigal Haven 25 metres from the boat ramp.
We are the only Dive Shop in Terrigal – you won’t have to put your gear on from the car boot before diving.
The boat ramp is the closest launch point to explore the ex HMAS Adelaide Wreck and it is approximately a five minutes trip.
Boats and Moorings: We have two dive boats. The Terrigal Diver is an aluminium 7.5 metre purpose built dive boat with a 200HP outboard motor. The 6.2 metre RIB is surveyed for 12 plus crew and is powered by two 75HP outboard motors.
They both have permanent moorings at Terrigal Haven.
We have one of the two exclusive moorings available at the wreck for commercial dive operators.
Experience: Terrigal Dive Centre is Australia's oldest & most respected Scuba Diving establishment.
First established in 1968, the same people are in the same location over 40 years later.
The shop was re-built by the Gosford council around the turn of the century… and we look a little different.
The enthusiastic Terrigal Dive Team who are experienced SSI instructors and dive masters.
Marine environmental groups and clubs: We are supporters of CCARP, CCMDC, TUG and BWAC.
We encourage your support or membership of these fine clubs and organisations.
We also support Central Coast Tourism
Our proudest achievement: Les and Fran Graham have been inducted into the Pro 5000 "club" by SSI Course Director Bruce Jamison. The Pro 5000 is the highest recognition that SSI offers and only a handful of SCUBA divers worldwide have received this honour.

Cancer Council Ladies Dive
Last Sunday (Oct 22nd) all of the girls at Terrigal Dive held a special Cancer Council fundraiser dive and barbeque which went off brilliantly.
The ladies day boat dive was organized by our own Linda Robinson and it was a great success.
Beautiful weather and calm seassaw 8 of the most attractive divers at Terrigal Dive (if you discount the guys) set off to dive the Pinnacle. They encountered 15m visibility and anabundance of marine life. What else would the girls want?
Oh wait!The men had to organizethe food.
Mitch did a good job on the BBQ, under the watchful eye of Nigel.
After a great feed, everybody’s belts were loosened a notchand hopefully their wallets too.
We held an auction of diving collectables along with a number of welcome donations.This raised an outstanding $500.00 plus with all the proceeds going to this worthy cause.
I would like to thank everybody involved in this special day for their support and contributions.
