Crest Diving - Lord Howe Island

Crest Diving operates with a small, intimate approach on Lord Howe Island, which we really appreciate. They’re the only operator heading out to Ball’s Pyramid and other sites like the Admiralty Islands. If you’re serious about getting in the water, especially for those deeper dives around the pyramid where you're looking for the Ballina angelfish, they're your go-to. It’s a good choice for divers who prefer a less commercial feel and want guides who really know the local spots, currents, and what’s likely to be out and about.
