Scubra Doctor - Tasmania

Scubra Doctor operates out of Tasmania, offering a gateway to some of Australia's cooler water diving. We'd suggest them for divers keen on temperate reef exploration, which often means kelp forests and fascinating macro life. It’s a good choice if you're looking for a change from tropical coral and want to see what diving down south is all about. This centre caters well to those seeking a different kind of underwater adventure.
