Dragon Boat Club • Brisbane, Australia
Join the CrewOceania Diggers is an Australian based Dragon Boat Club founded in 2023 by a group of dedicated paddlers with a simple purpose: to build a united, hard-working crew that reflects the true spirit of Oceania.
What began as a small collective of passionate athletes has grown into a strong, driven team committed to excellence on and off the water.
Our culture is built on teamwork, discipline, and respect — the belief that every paddler contributes to the heartbeat of the boat.
Based in Brisbane, we focus on competitive and elite performance — developing paddlers who want to race at the highest standards while staying grounded in the values that define the Diggers name.
From Hong Kong in the 1990s, through the iconic Bondi Diggers era and the internationally recognised Dubai Diggers, the Diggers name has always stood for commitment, team spirit, and performance.
Oceania Diggers is the next evolution.
