Tasmania dive sites
Dramatic temperate diving — kelp, sea caves, sponge gardens, walls and deep wrecks in genuinely cold water.
| Water temperature | Roughly 15–18°C in late summer and 11–13°C in winter. Cold enough that thermal planning affects every dive. |
|---|---|
| Visibility | Often very good, particularly in winter. 10–25 m is common and exceptional days go beyond that. |
| Season | Year-round. Winter frequently produces the clearest water, and summer offers the most comfortable surface conditions and longest days. |
