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.
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.
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).
Easy shore dive access. Quick walk from the car park into water. Depth 6-9m to ledges and swim throughs. Can be affected by swells and currents so divers must be cautious.
Rye Pier is an L-shaped pier approximately 500 meters long. It was built in 1860 to service the lime trade. The pier points North-Northeast so it is not diveable in strong northerly winds. A long walk to the lower landing located 50 meters from the end of the pier. Much better dive at night as more things come out then.
Flinders Pier is the perfect alternative when Port Phillip is blown out due to northerly winds. This site is protected from these winds and is best dived during high tide. There is very little depth at low tide.
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.
St Leonards Pier (aka St Leonards Jetty and Breakwater) is rated as the best pier dive on the Bellarine Peninsula. With plenty of colour and growth on the pylons, this dive site is well worth a visit day or night either diving or snorkelling. Great site for macro photography.
The Ozone wreck is located off the coast of Indented Head, Victoria, Australia . It is a retired Port Phillip paddle steamer that was sunk in 1925 to form a breakwater The wreckage of the Ozone remains visible about 50 meters offshore at Indented Head and is an easy shallow dive 3. It is a distinctive landmark.
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.
The Drop-off is located on the western end of Spectacular Reef, and consists of a series of walls thatplunge to over 60 meters in 5-10m increments. This makes it a great dive for all levels. Huge boulders the size of houses are scattered over the area, lying where the ancient Yarra River deposited them.
Spec Reef (aka Spectacular Reef) is part of the former Yarra River bed and lies in the South Channel, Port Phillip, Victoria. It is, therefore, subject to shipping traffic. The area is quite large and offers many different dive sites.
Devil’s Drop Off is one of the Melbourne’s most popular dive sites onits famous Lonsdale Wall. Devil’s Drop Off begins with a large drop-off from around 12 to 30 metres and continues with many ledges, overhangs and swim throughs.
Foggy Reef sits at the southern-most end of the Lonsdale wall system. The top of the wall is a great dive for beginners as it is around 8 meters deep. If you swim northeast you will find the edge of the wall. This site is part of the Port Phillip Heads Marine National Park.
