Adreno, formerly Adrenaline, is named in part by the innate human physiological energy response that is driven by excitement and fear of the unknown. Underwater exploration of the unknown has always been the driving influence in why divers have been so drawn to the sea. It is this passion that has driven Adreno to fast become the World’s Best Dive Store. The Adreno journey had humble beginnings in 2001 in the back streets of Woolloongabba in Brisbane, where former Australian Spearfishing Champion Tim Neilsen recognised a demand for well-informed professional customer service backed by a full range of quality spearfishing and scuba diving products.
As enthusiasm for underwater experiences in spearfishing, scuba diving, freediving and other water sports has grown, so too has the Adreno following. In September 2015 Adreno opened its second 850sqm store in a prime Sydney location where over 500 customers queued up for the official opening! Our third store in Melbourne opened a year later in 2016 and then Perth in 2018 with again over 500 customers queuing up for each grand opening!
Adreno is not just a retail store, it’s an experience. Today, over 70 passionate team members now work across the four stores, distribution warehouse and head office to deliver a seamless online and in-store shopping experience. With the largest range of spearfishing, scuba diving, freediving and wetsuit products in Australia, and only recruiting passionate experts who live and breathe underwater adventure, Adreno truly has made itself a destination store.
It’s been an exciting journey so far - and there’s still much more to come. At our ADRENO Stores we offer a wide range of SSI Scuba Diving Courses. To obtain full details please email training@adreno.com.au or call our National Training Manager Paul Leslie on 0477 000 987.
Rickett’s Point is a vibrant, shallow shore dive ideal for all experience levels. Explore kelp-covered reefs, colourful sponges, stingrays, and playful fish as you navigate calm conditions and photogenic rock formations—perfect for relaxed underwater exploring, training, and macro photography.
Mordialloc Pier, located on Beach Road lays at the entrance to Mordialloc Creek, and is fairly close to Melbourne and has similar marine life to Mornington Pier, but not nearly as interesting.
First built in the 1850s, Mornington Pier and Jetty is a regularly used dive training site and a relaxing after work night dive site for many Melbourne based divers. A site which is usually diveable when the wind is up just a bit.
Pope’s Eye is a sandy shoal with a partially completed bluestone fortification called the Annulus. It was to be the foundation of an island fort in the 1880’s to protect the bay.
Blairgowrie Pier is located in Camerons Bight on the southern shore of Port Philip between Sorrento and Rye, on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula. There is so much to see in this constantly changing, colorful environment across all of the different habitat types.
Accessible, full of life, and consistently rewarding, Portsea Pier captures the very best of Mornington Peninsula diving. It’s the perfect site for relaxed dives, photography, and unforgettable encounters with Victoria’s famous Weedy Seadragons, amongst numerous other marine species.
The J4 Submarine is a WWI wreck in the Victorian Ships’ Graveyard, lying north–south on a rocky seabed. Divers can enter through several hatches, though the shallow depth makes it prone to strong surge. When conditions are right, the clear, silt-free interior offers one of Melbourne’s best dives.
Portsea Hole is about 500m from the Portsea Pier and is a remnant of the old Yarra River. The top of the hole is at 14m and to the north there is a vertical wall approximately 75m(250ft) long which drops to sand at 27m (90ft), then into a sand bowl which bottoms at 33m(110ft).
