Harold Holt dive pool

The dive pool is available for bookings and deep-water aqua classes.

Please note that the dive tower will not come back into service but will remain as a monument to a bygone era. New one and three-metre springboards will ensure plunging in from a diving board is still very much part of the dive pool.

**From 8th March until 29 November 2025, the dive pool is open 4-7pm weekdays and 1-6pm weekends, ONLY on days exceeding 28 degrees. Availability subject to private bookings. 

**From 1st December 2025 until 28 February 2026, the dive pool is open 4-7pm weekdays and 1-6pm weekends. Availability subject to private bookings.
