At Queenscliff Dive Centre we offer a unique environment for all your scuba diving needs. Unlike most dive centers, Qdc provides everything on site, from hire equipment, purpose dive vessels, classrooms, accommodation, hot showers and even a custom built dive training pool and spa. When you come to Qdc we offer the complete package maximizing your dive experience.
We are proud of our reputation for exceptional diving and extraordinary service it is our attention to detail that makes us Victoria's #1 Dive Centre.
Queenscliff Dive Centre is a large spacious, sandstone building, originally a Cobb & Co stable built in 1864. We have a Spacious and comfortable Guest lounge area with TV, Video & DVD facilities and a fully equipped commercial kitchen - suitable for self catering. Some of our other luxuries include our indoor heated swimming and training pool, spa and change rooms, guest BBQ and a games corner.
The complex is completed with a modern building containing private bed rooms, dorm style accommodation, bathrooms, change rooms and a laundry.
The accommodation is "lodge style" with eight rooms, 4 to 6 beds in each and designed for divers needs, from the well designed "gear up" area to comfortable lounge areas for relaxing between dives. The layout and size of the rooms make the centre ideal for school/corporate groups, individuals and is especially attractive for dive clubs. A light Continental breakfast is supplied to all guests staying with Qdc.
Our divers can enjoy the comforts of changing and gearing up at the facility before boarding the courtesy shuttle bus. It's about a 3 minute ride to our boats berth. Once completed your activities our bus will take you back to QDC to the comfort of our warm showers or spa.
