Tasmania University Dive Club - Hobart
Originally formed by a small group of keen students in the 1970's, The Tasmanian University Dive Club (TUDC) hails from UTAS' Sandy Bay campus in Hobart. Fast forward a few decades and the club is growing stronger than ever. The TUDC is committed to safe and affordable diving, catering to all levels of skill and experience. Membership is not only for students; Alumni and non-students are welcome to join, and currently make up around half of the member base. Night diving, weekend club trips, research and conservation programs, cheap gear hire and access to the club's 15 foot aluminium Tristar dive boat are just a few of the benefits on offer to TUDC members.
The TUDC primarily dives in the southeast of Tasmania, home to some of the world's best temperate water diving. Day and weekend trips are regularly made to Bicheno on the East Coast and down to the Tasman and Forestier Peninsulas. TUDC divers can also be found bubbling at Bruny Island, Betsey Island (including the wreck graveyard), Maria Island, Wedge Island and many more great spots. A few of our favourite dives include Waterfall Bay, Isle de Phoque, Nine Pin Point, Tinderbox marine reserve and the Fortescue Bay kelp forest.

Ocean Divers Plus is a Launceston based dive club, which was formed in November 1994, from two Launceston based dive clubs. They were the Ocean Divers Tas (formed in 1988) and the Launceston Sub-Aqua Club (formed in 1967). Both Clubs had similar aims and membership.
The Tasmanian Scuba Diving Club is an extremely active Hobart based dive club that dives every weekend all over the state as well as trips interstate and overseas. Our dives cater for all tastes and abilities from easy shore dives for new divers to technical decompression diving for those that want to expand their abilities as well as everything in between.
The Leven SCUBA Club (LSC) is the oldest and at the present time, only SCUBA dive club operating on Tasmania's North West Coast. Formed in 1978 it's still active and has a small but enthusiastic membership committed to promoting safe, affordable recreational SCUBA diving.
The Tasmanian Diving Academy ("TDA Crabs") is a recreational diving club based in Hobart. We are a small, friendly group that dives mainly to enjoy the magnificent underwater world on our doorstep. We dive once a fortnight at a variety of locations in Tasmania, both in Marine Protected Areas as well as in other areas where those with licenses can collect some abalone,crayfish or scallops. Most of our dives are an easy drive from Hobart. Our diving is low cost because we mainly dive from shore or use member's boats but occasionally dive with locally based dive operators.
The Tasmanian Sub Aqua Club (TSAC) is one of the largest and oldest scuba diving clubs in Tasmania. We have over 40 members of varying experience ranging from beginners to instructors.
Sea Green Dive is a social group for divers of all different levels of experience. We organise dive trips through our Facebook page and offer free refresher dive courses to our members. Our members often organise their own trips and there is no minimum commitment or membership fee.
