The favourite for new and regular divers is Montague’s famous Australian Fur Seal Colony. Every diver who experiences the joy of swimming with these cute, playful, wide-eyed creatures emerges with a feeling of amazement at the friendliness of these fun-seeking seals.
It’s an easy dive with most of the seals sunbaking on the surface within 20 metres of the anchored boat. Yet when a diver enters the water they just can’t help themselves and come charging over to show off their agility to the strange clumsy creatures with bottles on their backs!

‘Dreamtime’ is one of the most awesome charter boats in Australia. The ride is superb, the amount of room on the boat is incredible. Add to this the ability to stand on the bow and watch dolphins swimming through the tunnel makes ‘Dreamtime’ one of the best dive boats around. You can also venture up on the flybridge and join the captain for the journey to the island or help find the whales.
