About this operator
Australian Diving Instruction operates in the Geelong region with technical training and access toward Port Phillip Heads, which is one of the best-positioned locations for serious Victorian diving.
Queenscliff and the Bellarine sit directly at the Heads, which shortens the run to sites that are a long trip from Melbourne or the Mornington Peninsula. For divers targeting a slack-water window, a shorter transit means more of that window spent diving rather than travelling — and at the Heads, the window is the entire constraint.
Port Phillip Heads contains some of Australia's most dramatic wall diving. Official Victorian tourism information describes walls starting at approximately twelve metres and extending beyond ninety, covered in dense sponge, sea whip and gorgonian growth. The shallower sections are within reach of competent recreational divers on slack water; the deeper sections are a genuine technical undertaking.
The Ships' Graveyard outside the bay is the other major destination — numerous deliberately scuttled vessels across a wide depth range, from accessible recreational profiles to depths requiring Trimix and full decompression planning.
That continuity is unusual and valuable: divers can build experience on the same terrain as they train, which is part of why Victoria's technical community is as developed as it is.
Worth establishing: the technical agency and maximum course level; whether helium and Trimix are blended and how reliable supply is; CCR support and which units; whether the operation runs its own vessel and how trips are scheduled around tides; stage cylinder and technical equipment hire; and cylinder oxygen cleaning and testing. For Heads diving specifically, ask how slack-water timing is handled.

Use the recorded location in Norlane as a starting point, then ask where your proposed activity actually meets. A business address may be a shop or office rather than the boat departure. Training-agency information has not been recorded here, so ask which programme is offered before comparing courses.

Questions, answered
Does YouDive verify every service at Australian Diving Instruction?
No. The profile distinguishes recorded research from information that still needs confirmation. Directory inclusion is not accreditation or a safety endorsement.
Does Australian Diving Instruction currently visit every linked site?
A linked site reflects a sourced directory relationship, not a live schedule. Confirm current trips, access and suitability with the operator.
How should I compare Australian Diving Instruction with another provider?
Send the same brief to each: dates, group size, training, recent experience, equipment and support needs. Compare itemised inclusions and terms rather than headline prices alone.
