About this dive shop

Dive Forster was established in 1982 and operated by the same owner, Ron Hunter for the last thirty years, and is one of the most respected and awarded Dive Centres on the east coast of Australia. Gabby Hunter, Ron's daughter, operates the dive centre alongside her dad and with a team of brilliant Divemasters and Instructors. The team at Dive Forster has a vast and intimate knowledge of cetaceans, Grey Nurse Sharks and all the fish life in the temperate waters of the Barrington Coast. We also conduct Whale Watching tours offshore from Forster, NSW Australia, during the Humpback Whale migration season (June/July and October/November). Dive Forster at Fisherman’s Wharf has been conducting Scuba diving and adventure tours at Forster, and all over the planet for the last 40 years. Vastly experienced Tour Guides, Scuba Diving Instructors and Divemasters escort all tours. Ron and Gabby have a combined 40 years experience in the field. Experience, knowledge, Scuba diving and free-diving (snorkelling) skills that ensure that all adventurers on our tours enjoy the best possible experiences available. Ron and Gabby are also both qualified ocean going Commercial Vessel Masters. We have two full time instructors available for a variety of courses, from Open Water to Divemaster, and we are also excited to offer PADI Freediver courses with Gabby and Sidemount courses with Steve
