Deep 6 - Lord Howe Island

Deep 6 on Lord Howe Island keeps things wonderfully simple. They’re the real local operators here, running trips out to the Admiralty Islands, a collection of volcanic pinnacles just off the main island. We’ve found them to be completely no-nonsense, focusing on solid guided dives that let you really soak in those dramatic walls and the fusilier schools that often seem to blot out the sun. If you’re looking for a friendly, professional crew who know these specific sites like the back of their hand, Deep 6 is your pick. They’re perfect for divers who appreciate a straightforward operation more than a fancy resort setup.
