Secondly when I purchased this tour the description was Snorkelling around Rottnest Island is something you need to tick off their bucket list. The waters are teaming with marine life, underwater caves, caverns, and colourful corals you can see for yourself. Departing Fremantle, you'll head over to Rottnest Island and visit multiple snorkel sites throughout the day. Refuel with a delicious buffet lunch while onboard and enjoy the sights around Perth's most popular destination.
I did not see any colourful corals nor where the waters teaming with marine life. I was lucky to see one fish swim by. We were told to swum around the boat because we were are 2 dives sites with your divers. The water was so deep on one side and 3 metres on the other and u could still barely see anything. The trip was not planned around snorkelling. It was completely mis leading and every snorkeller on the boat was not happy and disappointed. Seriously just one bog money grab and you should be ashamed of your self for using people. I will be making a complaint to the accc because you did not deliver what your description was and you did not want to approve a refund. We did not visit multiple snorkel sites we went to 2 dove sites very far put from rottness island. Worst experience I have been on in my life. All I wanted to do was get off the boat and some other snorkellers did as well. Don't rip off people any more and stop these tours.










And we got to see whales which was unreal!


I had a great day although the first dive wasn't the greatest as buddies worked out buoyancy and air consumption but that's diving for you (nothing to do with crew) 2nd dive was awesome once one of the buddies who was travelling had worked out his weights (often happens which is why its best when travelling to do a few dive days).
Second dive we dived one of my favourite sites at Rottnest - Crystal Palace it really shows some of the best of Rottnest in one dive. Vis was awesome (actually better on dive 1 but still awesome dive 2). Reef was full of schools of little fish called "pomfreds" (i love swimming with schools of fish swirling about), 2 giant caverns each with lots of holes in the roof so you could see much of the caves safely without being in an overhead environment as you could still vertically egress. Colourful sponges, corals, critters, fish. This was what diving Rotto is about and water warm too 23C I was toastie.
Crew was helpful as can be, as always. I realised I made a gaff and my wetsuit boots had dropped out of my bag in my car (my fault) crew said "no worries' loaned me a pair!
Food is varied there's a wide choice so I always find something to eat e.g. I love the crusty bread rolls with Roast beef (which are always on) there is also potato bake, nice salads and good penne and vegan options.
There's hot showers right at the back deck to flush your wetsuit with hot water on exit, unlimited tea and a big jar of jellies and biscuits, (which unusually today's divers didn't manage to finish!), 3 large heads (toilets) to change in. The boat is crazy good in bad weather and there's a large sun deck for nice days with large cabin for bad weather.
She runs at 20 knots very smoothly gets across the rough open water quick and into the shelter of the island even on horrible days (its not always sun) Blue Destiny can dive on days most private boats can't yet despite the size she can still get in close as a Cat with 2 engines she's highly manoeuvrable.
I regularly dive with Blue Destiny (especially on days my little boat can't manage) and another competitor both operations I like a lot and I recommend both to friends as this is a review for BD I highly recommend them AND Perth Scuba.
One other thing I really value - I usually bring my own tanks (you bring a tank and get a 2nd boat one) but at present their freo operation fills your tank if you've been on BD (show them your receipt) which really makes things easy for me since I can refill my tanks ready for shore dive and not have to wait till next day off to go and get a fill.
I got some nice (I think) photos on the 2nd dive some of my favourites are below. Can find more photos and videos of this and other trips on fb/u tube "Aquatic Australia".




Their boat appeared to have approximately 20 people on board. Lots of the people on Blue Destiny were divers. They then started diving from the back of their boat. Divers swam all around my boat and directly below the my boat where we were fishing with lines in the water. Not only is this extremely rude, it’s also dangerous as we were using large sharp hooks, strong fishing line and for a period of time we were unaware there were divers below our boat until we saw the bubbles. Divers could have easily become tangled in our lines and hooks.
Additionally, we had been using burley to attract fish, which can also often attract sharks. That morning we did hook up to a large shark that snapped our line so it’s likely it was still nearby.
Blue Destiny simply ignored the fact that we were fishing that reef, they didn’t care about us or their customers.
Disgusting behaviour from Blue Destiny charters. You are disgraceful for putting those divers at risk. You are rude for anchoring so close to another boat that is clearly fishing. Clearly you didn’t advise your customers to not swim below or near the fishing boat. Learn some respect for other water/boat users and learn not to put your customers at risk in future! Disgusting!



First dive was Opera house and second dive at Tuna Hut. Amazing vis, lots of marine life, two huge sting rays and lots of crays. Good feed between dives and beautiful smooth ride there and back.

Kind and patient. Very helpful service. The lunch was like a buffet . It had everything I was very supirsed
It was.my first snorkel and I found it really interesting.
Great to.experience and has opened up the doors for.futhur adventures .
Thanks guys







I have a lot of different challenging experiences in the nature, so usually I am not scared or afraid about something so fast. I really hope they will be more supportive to the next snorkeling beginners.

A special shout out to Devan for instructing me on my first ever dive via the DSD program! The entire experience exceeded my expectations beyond what I could even imagine. A life changing experience which has me hooked on diving, and looking forward to getting my certification done asap.
This was definitely the highlight of my trip to WA and as soon as I can get myself back here, I will be sure to hit up Blue Destiny for a dive trip or two! Thank you to all the crew!!





This time was special as I saw a humpback whale swim past me on my first dive of the day!
Lunch was great as always, the crew amazing!
Well done guys!









The boat crew is always friendly and professional and they put on a great feed. You really can’t ask for me more.




On the way to the dive sites we have previously spottet humback whales (not a rare occurence depneding on the time of year). This time (march) however, we were joined by dolphins playing in the waves and a turtle.
The dive sites have beautiful corals and schools of fish of varying sizes. Also, it is not rare to spot sting rays.






Please make sure every diver has a SMB on them before entering the water. The other dive boats in Perth do. In other states of Australia it is law.






As always Craig and the amazing crew went above and beyond to make it an amazing day.
That are my go to dive company every chance I get.
Also a big shout out to the crew at Perth Scuba who work tirelessly organising the bookings and making sure you are all geared up to make the most out of your experience on Blue Destiny.



These guys need taking off the water NOT SAFE BOAT





I recommend them




While it looked like the main focus was going to be the Scuba Divers, it certainly was not.
We were not aware that we were going to be offered wetsuits or even snorkel gear as the place we booked informed us that our own snorkel gear was required.
To get there and have that all supplied was amazing.
Again the staff never left us out and communicated with us all the time, very approachable for a chat as well.
Lunch was amazing.
If we go back to Perth we are certainly booking again!!!






Would love to be back at blue destiny. And yes the boat itself was amazing. I also organised live music on the boat. Sound system was brilliant on the boat.


Lots of snacks and a yum lunch provided throughout the day, you won’t go hungry for sure! The boat is well fit out and clean and organised.
Highly recommend this trip to anyone regardless of experience diving or snorkelling , your needs will be met and you’ll have the best day!
Thanks for another great trip guys!


These dive charters run by Perth Scuba in Canning Vale are always fun and run in a very professional way.
Two great dives and lunch provided which is top notch.
I’ve been on this dive boat many times and always see something different every time, yesterday I was lucky to see a Manta ray which is fairly rare this far down the coast.
Do your self a favour and get onboard for a fantastic day.
If you don’t have your dive ticket Perth scuba can sort you out for that as well.
5 stars All round







Big thanks to Chris & Devon for answering my never ending questions.
Thanks to all the crew that made it a fantastic day and hope to see you all again soon
