Diving bases and accommodation in Perth and on the West Coast
From Fremantle, the Blue Destiny, Perth Scuba's boat, takes divers to Rottnest Island, with the entry fee for the island's waters included in the price. Around the island lie reefs with caves and swim-throughs, and you can explore the wrecks of the Macedon and the Denton Holme in a single dive. In Coogee, you walk from the beach to the Omeo wreck and along an underwater trail with an artificial reef. Far to the north off Exmouth lies the Ningaloo Reef, a UNESCO World Heritage site. There, Dive Ningaloo takes you to Lighthouse Bay and the western side in Cape Range National Park, where you can swim with whale sharks on snorkeling tours run by licensed operators.
With this booklet, you can choose a dive base and accommodation together. It compares the dive bases and the guesthouses next to them, which base and house reef belong to which guesthouse, and how far the walk to the boat is. For each accommodation, it states whether there is a place to rinse and dry your equipment and if an early breakfast is available. For non-diving days, the booklet lists restaurants and excursions, each with a link to a map.
You will receive an A5-format PDF that you can read on your phone or tablet while on the go and print out as a booklet at home.
