About us

Dive Cave is run by Matt and Kelly Lewthwaite out of the Sunshine Coast, supplying spearfishing, free diving and dive gear Australia wide. Dive Cave is your go-to source for top-notch spearfishing, free diving, scuba and dive gear at affordable prices. Our brands include Cressi, Rabitech, Rob Allen, Koha, Ocean Hunter, DiveR Fins, Aussie Reels, Hammerhead, Salvimar and many more.
The inception of Dive Cave stemmed from the reality that the Sunshine Coast lacked a dedicated spearfishing and dive shop. Eager to fill this void, Kelly and Matt are enthusiastic about providing not only affordable gear to their local community, but are equally passionate about sharing their wealth of knowledge and expertise in the realm of spearfishing and diving.
