Company description Melbourne Diving Services enjoys the convenience of a store located close to the CIty CBD. Our Heidelberg outlet carries an extensive range of all the most popular equipment, is the centre for our equipment servicing and houses our administration offices and knowledge development lecture rooms.
Melbourne Diving School is the longest established Diving school in Australia. Training courses comenced in the early 1950`s with technical assistance from the Royal Australian Navy. Aqua-lungs were not available in those days and divers received training in the use of closed circuit oxygen units of military origins. Our first students were members of what was to become the diving section of the Victorian Police Search and Rescue Squad. `Standard Dress` (Hard-Hat Helmet Diving) courses were also run by the school to train commercial divers for harbour and slavage work. From these early days we have seen Scuba Diving grow to what it is today - an exciting, safe and personally rewarding sport. We have trained divers from all walks of life - including some well-known names in the diving industry!
Let Melbourne Diving Services introduce you to the wonders and enjoyment of the underwater world. From your first steps into the water through to Advanced Technical diving, Melbourne Diving Services can help you achieve any level of diving proficiency. The diving centre located conveniently in Heidelberg and added flexibility of our famous Bus.
Our most popular courses are listed in our training section.

To the divers that wish to join us for the MDS Club Trip to Truk Lagoon. You might be unaware that places are limited for this trip so Rob is asking everyone that wishes to attend this trip that they need to place a deposit by the end of March. For if you don`t your place will not be guarantee. Remember places are limited and we only have 5 months to go. If you have any further queries please give the shop a call. The last trip was great and I know that this one will be even better. We have atached a flyer with trip details, and here is a web site made about our last trip.

Location description: Launched in 2000, `Ultimate Diver` has set the benchmark for dive charter vessels in Victoria, providing certainly one of the most comfortable dive platforms on the water. Power provided by its twin inboard engines ensures quick, trouble-free access to all dive sites. A spacious deck makes gearing up easy even when we`re busy! Finally, long winter dives are never a problem as with 240 volt power on board a hot drink is never far away.
Dives operate every weekend and Wednesdays year round as well as more regularly throughout the warmer months (December, January and February). The versatility of the two boats means there`s always something on the schedule to suit your diving needs, from first timers to technical.
