Adreno, once called Adrenaline, is all about that unstoppable rush—the heart-pounding excitement you feel when you leap into the unknown. And where better to chase that thrill than beneath the waves? 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. Our team doesn’t just sell gear—they live and breathe the underwater lifestyle, making Adreno the ultimate destination for anyone who loves the sea.
And the adventure doesn’t stop there! At our ADRENO stores, you can level up your diving journey with a full range of SSI Scuba Diving Courses. From your very first breath underwater to becoming a certified diver ready to explore the world, we’ve got you covered.

A deeper site for advanced divers, Shark Alley is a seasonal aggregation zone for endangered Grey Nurse (sand tiger) sharks. Being further out to sea, it is also a great place to see whales and other large pelagic marine life. Max depth is 28m with the reef rising to 12m on either side of the alley.
The perfect site for new divers, old divers, and snorkelers alike, with a protected shallow haven of 5-12m, this area is a very popular dive site.
A small concrete cherub once marked the main entrance to this hidden cave off Moreton Island. While the guardian has since disappeared, this underwater world remains to be discovered by the adventurous diver.
An amazing dive site for the experienced diver! The Cod Hole is a small underwater cave located on the northern tip and opens up at approximately 15m deep, then slopes downwards to a depth of 21m.
Large scattered bombies with a unique crevice, this site is suitable for most diving levels and reaches up to 15m depth. This site provides great diving year-round with plenty of critters both large and small.
Macro heaven! With sheer walls on either side of you, expect to come across a range of small and wonderful creatures such as nudibranchs, Spanish dancers, crayfish and mantis shrimp.
Fish Rock Cave is the only true ocean cave dive in Australia, running 125 meters right through Fish Rock. Fish Rock is in the path of the EAC (East Australian Current) which usually floods the site with warm clear water, bringing a huge variety of temperate and tropical marine species.
The Needles is located on the southern end of Julian Rocks and consists of large bombies extending up to shallow depths. Currents and the shallow depths of 5-15m here mean there is plenty to see all year round.
The top of the reef sits at about 10 meters deep, dropping to 30 meters with the drop-off covered in numerous hard and soft corals. Reef fish are scattered across the shallower parts, with pelagic fish, sharks, turtles, stingrays, eagle rays, and the occasional manta ray circling the reef.
“Cook Island” is known as a Marine Reserve and is home to a wide variety of marine life and breeding seabirds. Cook Island provides a great opportunity to visit a protected area and witness why so many love this special place. Max depth here is 13m.
The HMAS Brisbane was scuttled in July 2005 to create an artificial reef off Mooloolaba’s Sunshine Coast. The Queensland government created a Conservation Park around the wreck. This wreck is buzzing with beautiful marine life.
Moreton Bay Marine Park is home to Brisbane’s only true coral reef and fully protected marine sanctuary, Flinders Reef. Scuba dive among an amazing array of marine life and coral, perfect for any diver.
The Tangalooma Wrecks are located just off the beach at Moreton Island, about a 75-minute ferry ride from Brisbane. They consist of 15 purpose-sunk ships that were deliberately scuttled between 1963 and 1984 to create a safe harbour for small boats — and they’ve since transformed into an fantastic artificial reef
Shag Rock is an exposed rocky reef only a short 6 to 8 minute boat ride from the beach our Dive boats are launched from. Because of this it is the most protected dive site and offers great diving when conditions elsewhere take a turn for the worse.
Hanging Rock was given its name due to an enormous rocky outcrop which overhangs a sandy trench below. The underside of the overhang is a photographers delight! Here you will find beautiful sun corals feeding in the tranquil sway of the ocean.
