WHEN IT COMES TO DIVING IN BRISBANE, MANTA LODGE & SCUBA CENTRE IS THE AREA’S BEST KEPT SECRET.


Opened in 1992, Manta Lodge & Scuba Centre is North Stradbroke Island’s only dive centre and Brisbane’s only SSI Instructor Training Centre.

Offering SSI courses from beginner level right up to Scuba Instructor as well as technical and rebreather diving, Manta Lodge & Scuba Centre is Brisbane’s premier dive facility for high quality, live-in scuba diving training.  Located right on the beach at Point Lookout, we specialise in providing world-class scuba diving courses and dive trips to the Moreton Bay Marine Park on beautiful Minjerribah (North Stradbroke Island).

Perfect for those looking for a scuba diving day trip from Brisbane, Manta Lodge & Scuba Centre runs dive trips five days a week (Friday – Tuesday), as well as snorkel tours on Fridays* and various Dive Festivals throughout the year. We also stock an extensive range of scuba hire equipment, have the latest model GoPro video cameras for rental, and offer both air and Nitrox and Trimix options for divers.

Manta Lodge & Scuba Centre is proud to stock quality brands such as Halcyon, Mares, GoPro, Shearwater and Mares XR, and offers an in-house dive equipment service centre with our team of fully-accredited scuba service technicians. We also employ ten highly-qualified and experienced dive professionals, have two naiad inflatable dive vessels, and with our own full-time SSI Instructor Trainer, you can complete all your dive training - right up to Professional level – on site.

BUT WE'RE MORE THAN JUST A DIVE SHOP...

As well as our full-service scuba centre, we are also North Stradbroke Island’s only YHA Hostel, offering comfortable dorm-style and private accommodation with full facilities for up to 60 guests. We also offer bike, snorkel gear, surfboard and longboard hire for those looking to explore the island on both land and sea.

Visit us today and let our experienced team show you the magic of diving on Brisbane’s North Stradbroke Island!
