Take a dive with Trev below the surface of the stunning beaches that surround the picturesque Lord Howe Island.

• Lord Howe Island’s abundant marine life and crystal-clear waters has been attracting divers from around the world and is widely considered one of the best places to snorkel in the world.
• Lord Howe Island is one of just four island groups on UNESCO’s world heritage list for the global significance of its natural beauty and heritage.
• Surrounded by Marine Park and with fishing restrictions, the island’s reef and marine ecosystems are pristine and plentiful.
• The island is located at the crossroads of five major ocean current: including the warm East Australian Current, which runs down the Great Barrier Reef and down into the Tasman Sea. Here you can dive in the world’s most southern coral reef.
• The island has a unique marine eco system – with a diverse mix of tropical, sub-tropical and temperate species which is found nowhere else on earth.
• Located so far offshore with no rivers draining to the ocean, the waters are some of the clearest on earth; visibility is usually around 30m.
• There are over 60 world class dive sites, most located just a short boat ride from shore.
