Dive Store Westcourt Cairns | Ocean Universal | Mulgrave Road
Your dive shop in western Cairns
You don't need to fight for parking in the CBD or deal with waterfront crowds. We've been right here in Westcourt since 1999, back when we were Spearfishing Superstore. Same spot at Shop 1/310 Mulgrave Road. Same team. Just a bigger range now covering scuba, spearfishing, and freediving. Pull up out front, load your gear without stress, and chat with staff who actually dive the reefs you're heading to.
Why Westcourt?
Free parking. That's the short answer. The longer answer? We're 8 minutes from the CBD with none of the hassle. Easy access from Edmonton, Gordonvale, and straight off the Bruce Highway. After 25 years at this address, we've watched the local dive community grow up around us. Plenty of our customers have been coming here since the Spearfishing Superstore days. Some of them bring their kids in now for their first mask fitting.
What We Stock
Our Westcourt showroom carries the full range. Scuba gear including regulators, BCDs, dive computers, and tropical wetsuits. Spearfishing equipment from spearguns and long-blade fins to weight systems and floats. Freediving gear for competition and recreation. Plus seasonal stuff like stinger suits for wet season and torches for coral spawning night dives. If you need it for FNQ waters, we've probably got it on the shelf.
Local Knowledge Included
Our team aren't reading product specs off a screen. They're divers. They know which mask won't fog up at Agincourt. They know what speargun length works on the Ribbon Reefs. They've done the minke whale swims and the coral spawning night dives. That's 25 years of collective FNQ reef experience sitting behind the counter. Ask them anything. New to diving?
