Bay City Scuba - Tasmania

Bay City Scuba in Tasmania caters to divers keen on exploring Australia’s cooler southern waters. We’ve found their focus often leans towards local temperate diving, which means kelp forests, unique macro life, and shipwrecks rather than tropical reefs. It’s a solid choice for those wanting to experience a different side of Australian diving, especially if you appreciate a good drysuit adventure. If you're looking to dive Tasmania, these are the folks to talk to.
