The ocean has always called explorers, and Adreno has answered by becoming the World’s Best Dive Store. Our journey kicked off back in 2001, in the backstreets of Woolloongabba, Brisbane. Armed with passion and experience, former Australian Spearfishing Champion Tim Neilsen set out to build more than just a shop. He wanted to create a hub for ocean lovers—a place where the gear is top quality, the advice is expert, and the vibe is pure adventure.

Fast forward, and Adreno has made a splash across Australia! In 2015, our Sydney megastore opened its doors to over 500 excited customers queued around the block. Melbourne followed in 2016, Perth in 2018, and the Gold Coast in 2021—with hundreds lining up for every single grand opening. Each launch was more like a festival of the ocean than a store opening! But here’s the best part: Adreno isn’t just a store—it’s an experience. With over 70 passionate crew members, we’ve built Australia’s largest playground for spearfishing, scuba diving, freediving, and wetsuit adventures.

Wreck of the Marietta Dal and Smith Rock Dive Trip

Marietta Dal Shipwreck Dive into history at the incredible Marietta Dal shipwreck! This mighty 7,500-ton Liberty ship, built in the USA in 1944, now rests as one of Brisbane’s most fascinating underwater playgrounds.

Today, the wreck lies scattered between 10–18 metres, bursting with character and marine life. You’ll weave through twisted steel plates, beams, and the long prop shaft — but the real show-stoppers are the tractors on the seafloor, looking like mini underwater tanks! Add in caves, ledges, and gutters teeming with fish, and you’ve got a dive that’s as thrilling as it is unique. Smith’s Rock Smith’s Rock is pure adventure! Three dramatic granite pinnacles rise to just 6 metres below the surface — rugged, mysterious, and buzzing with life.

Cementco Wreck and Flinders Dive Trip

CEMENTCO WRECK & FLINDERS REEF DIVE ADVENTURE Step back in time and dive into history at the legendary Cementco (Crusader) Wreck, paired with one of South East Queensland’s most spectacular natural dive sites — Flinders Reef. The Cementco Wreck Originally commissioned in 1944 as part of Australia’s Pacific War effort, the Crusader 2 transported heavy equipment and supplies to troops in New Guinea. After a successful military career, she was repurposed by the Queensland Cement & Lime Company, hauling coral and sand through Moreton Bay to Brisbane. In 1984, the Crusader was destined for one final mission — to become an artificial reef at Flinders Reef. But in true maritime fashion, she had the last laugh, springing a leak and sinking 400 metres northeast of Flinders Reef, creating the iconic wreck we explore today. What was once a hardworking vessel is now a thriving underwater playground teeming with marine life. Flinders Reef Often described as one of the best dive sites in Queensland, Flinders Reef offers an explosion of colour and life. Explore dramatic walls, caves, gutters and pinnacles blanketed in over 100 coral species, including staghorn, brain and plate corals, alongside soft corals, gorgonians and sponges.

China Wall & Cherubs Cave Dive Trip

China Wall Get ready for one of Brisbane’s most unique and mind-blowing dive sites! Sitting on the exposed eastern side of Moreton Island, China Wall flips the script with a reef covered in golden waving kelp instead of coral — the kind you’d expect way down south, not dancing alongside tropical fish! The rocky landscape is bursting with colour thanks to soft corals, gorgonians and elegant black coral trees. With depths ranging from 16 to 32 metres, you’ll discover caves, gutters, towering walls, and even a stunning rock arch just begging for a photo. Among the kelp you can expect schools of reef fish, bullseyes, yellowtail, trevally, kingfish, blue gropers, wobbegongs and turtles cruising by. Winter turns China Wall into something truly magical — calm conditions, grey nurse sharks patrolling the gutters, and the soundtrack of humpback whales singing through the entire dive. If you’re lucky, one of these gentle giants may glide past for an unforgettable moment. Cherub’s Cave Once marked by a small concrete cherub, this hidden underwater playground still delivers an adventure worthy of its legendary name. Cherub’s Cave is a huge circular cavern, about 20 x 15 metres, with six different exits that let you choose your own underwater path. The surrounding area is packed with rocky gullies, secret caves and overhangs waiting to be explored. Pelagic like barracuda, kingfish and trevally sweep through the blue, while turtles, gropers and wobbegongs wander the reef.
