Adaptors / Special Fittings
The Scuba Doctor has a wide range of premium quality scuba adaptors and special dive fittings from Sonar, Alpha Diving, OmniSwivel and others, for recreational, technical and rebreather divers plus the commercial diving industry.
Reminder: The actual configuration of an adaptor is a mirror image of its use. A 3/8"-24 UNF FEMALE port requires a 3/8"-24 UNF MALE adaptor etc. In technical diving operations where many fittings may get co-mingled, be sure that all adaptor combinations can accommodate the intended flows and pressures.
Looking for a particular fitting you don't see here? Let us know and we'll see if we can find it for you.
We reserve the right to limit order quantities to less than 10 pieces because our supply is appropriate for the demands of individual divers, but not bulk orders. Large volume bulk orders will NOT qualify for our free shipping promotion.
The Passage Bommie
Bommie Dive | 
Boat access
Depth: 3 m (9.84 ft) to 20 m (66 ft)
Level: Open Water and beyond.
The Passage Bommie is a boat dive site which lies in the Southern Ocean, south-south-west of Point Danger, near the city of Portland, on Victoria's Discovery Coast.
Diving at The Passage Bommie
The Passage Bommie can be easily overlooked (on the way to somewhere else), but it offers a vast array of interesting dive opportunities. The exposed location has resulted in some dramatic underwater topography from gnarly gutters near the Bommie (3–10 metres), to deeper gorges (15–20 metres) at the eastern approach.
The Passage Bommie was once massive contributor to the commercial abalone catch in the area. That is sadly no longer the case, but there is still plenty to see (both marine life and underwater scenery) on the right day.
Location: Portland, Victoria 3305
Ideal Conditions: This dive site is very weather dependant. Best dived in good conditions with a low swell with light winds. See WillyWeather (Point Danger) as a guide for the tide times and the height of the tide.
Boat Launching: Access is by boat, taking about 15 minutes from the Portland Harbour, Lee Breakwater Road North Ramp or the Portland Harbour, Lee Breakwater Road South Ramp.

Gunditjmara country
Traditional Owners — This dive site is in the traditional Country of the Gunditjmara people of far south-western Victoria which continues over the state border into a small part of south-east South Australia and is bordered by the Glenelg River to the west and the Wannon River in the north. This truly ancient Country extends 100 metres out to sea from low tide and also includes Deen Maar (aka Lady Julia Percy Island) where the Gunditjmara believe the spirits of their dead travel to wait to be reborn. We wish to acknowledge the Gunditjmara as Traditional Owners. We pay respect to their Ancestors and their Elders, past, present and emerging.

DISCLAIMER: No claim is made by The Scuba Doctor as to the accuracy of the dive site coordinates listed here. Should anyone decide to use these GPS marks to locate and dive on a site, they do so entirely at their own risk. Always verify against other sources.
The marks come from numerous sources including commercial operators, independent dive clubs, reference works, and active divers. Some are known to be accurate, while others may not be. Some GPS marks may even have come from maps using the AGD66 datum, and thus may need be converted to the WGS84 datum. To distinguish between the possible accuracy of the dive site marks, we've tried to give each mark a source of GPS, Google Earth, or unknown.
