Dive Lord Howe - Lord Howe Island

Dive Lord Howe operates right from the island, which is a real plus for convenience. Their small operation means a more personal touch, something we always appreciate. We’ve found they excel at getting you to the outer sites like Ball’s Pyramid when conditions allow, which is the main reason most divers make the journey here. If you're looking for focused dives with experienced local guides rather than a big resort experience, this is the outfit for you.
