Sunreef Mooloolaba is the longest established and only PADI 5 Star dive shop on the Sunshine Coast diving the Ex-HMAS Brisbane daily.

Join us on one of our half-day double dives to the ex-HMAS Brisbane or on one of our local reef dives or to the gorgeous Flinders Reef. All of our dives offer an abundant range of both hard and soft corals, a host of nudibranchs, tubes worms, sponges, pelagic and reef fish similar to what is found on the Great Barrier Reef. Make sure you bring your camera and/or an underwater torch, the colors are fantastic! During Whale Watching season (from July to October), you can also experience Australia's first Swimming with Humpback Whales with Sunreef, an experience that is 100% on the whales terms.

Saltwater dripped down the inside of my mask, forming a comfortable puddle just below my nose. Beyond the puddle, the blue water of the Gneerings disappeared, with the only other activity visible being my buddy's bubbles rising around me. I took a deep, cool breath.
