Southport is a coastal suburb on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia. It sits along the Broadwater with access to calm inshore waters and nearby saltwater reefs a short boat ride away. The area is more known for urban beaches and waterways than high-profile dive sites, and there is limited local diving within the city itself. Nearby dive centers on the Gold Coast offer instruction, equipment rental, and trips to nearby reef and wreck sites along the coast. Divers visiting Southport typically base themselves in the broader Gold Coast region to access reef walls, pelagic opportunities, and diverse marine life found along the Queensland coast.
