The best thing about Rottnest Island Diving & Snorkeling in Perth, are the Fantastic sites that are located so close to Perth City. Fremantle is the main Port of Perth City & Western Australia. This makes Fremantle the best place to jump on a boat and head over to Scuba Dive or Snorkel Rottnest Island.
Rottnest Island is a limestone rock based Island, being of a soft porous composition. This soft rock coupled with the open Indian ocean currents, have created deep crevices, caverns and huge swim thru’s like you have never seen before. The soft corals are amazing, the fish life is truly diverse and the exploratory nature of the maze of caves, just sensational.
Check out what lies beneath the surface at the world-renowned Rottnest Island during this full day snorkelling tour. Home to kaleidoscopic marine life as well as deep crevices, caverns and huge swim through caves, Rottnest Island is an absolute haven for keen snorkelers. Departing Fremantle, you will traverse the pristine waterways to the chosen two sites at Rottnest. Each season has its own drawcard – in Spring the humpback whales hang around for weeks, and in Autumn grey nurse sharks linger at the west end. No matter when you go, you will be amazed by this wonder-filled underwater realm.
Snorkelers will be taken to locations adjacent to the main dive site that is suitable for viewing from a snorkel depth, if the main site is not suitable. We have a tender available to take snorkelers a short distance to suitable snorkel sites so snorkelers can enjoy their day out at Rottnest Island.
In different seasons, we experience a multitude of different events. In spring the Humpback Whales hang around for weeks and it is a quite regular to have whales singing or breaching on the trip. Summer see’s us enjoying relief from the extreme mainland temperatures, with great visibility and 24 deg water.
Autumn is a favourite with light winds and the opportunity to visit the Grey Nurse Sharks out at the west end. Winter brings cooler water but the South side of Rottnest Island holds shelter and some awesome diving. Our great staff are very keen to help in any way & with great selections of Dive sites, you will be amazed at the fantastic caves of Rottnest Island.
All visitors entering the Rottnest Island Reserve, including the marine reserve, are required to pay an admission fee as a contribution to the conservation of the Island and the provision and upkeep of facilities. Blue Destiny pay the waters admission fee on your behalf and this is included in the price of your day trip. If you wish to be dropped on the island there is an additional landing admission fee payable to the Rottnest Island Authority.

Another lovely day with Blue Destiny! Had another lovely day with Blue Destiny. Cool dives, friendly and professional staff, awesome food, and a really comfy large boat. They are my favorite Perth dive operator. Thanks guys XOX
Just call in sick and get out there Awesome day out with Blue Destiny as is the standard, had some nice weather on the surface and great conditions below. Shark Cave came through for us with some grey nurses and got wrapped up in a bait ball on the second dive. Choice 👌 Alana, Lamea and Dario do a fantastic job at ensuring the day runs safely and smoothly
Awesome 2 days diving sat abd sun Did 2 days diving Sat deep dive and sunday shallow dive. Two fantastic days in a row. NE wind made things a bit lumpy out on west end challenging advanced open water dive with wonderful visibility water toasty and fish everywhere. Sadly this day I missed seeing the Grey Nurse sharks but others saw them but lovely dive. Wind on surface was a bit chilly but warm cabin, great hot buffet lunch and hot shower to warm up my wetsuit and some warm sun saw us ready for 2nd dive which was in the sheltered Lee of rotto, so flat calm 23m clear 20m viz, wall, ledges cute port Jackson shark and huuuge swirling school of big buffalo bream each up to 80cm 1000 strong swirling around us like a tornado, flat calm water, relaxing dive.Sundays shallow dive was also sheltered and lovely viz even better.
I've been diving over 10 or more years with blue destiny, love it. Crew are great, boat is great, food is great, customers are great its a friendly, fun environment. 2 weeks ago I brought my 14 yr old daughter first dive on BD she loved it too, crew so helpful.
👍😎🐠🐟🐙 Very Nice.Night dive good.
Cool
Enjoyed diving (mid-March 2026) with Perth SCUBA / Blue Destiny Enjoyed diving (mid-March 2026) with Perth SCUBA / Blue Destiny out of Fremantle: great team, large comfortable vessel, our 2 dives on the western side Rottnest Is. (Cathedral Rocks & Swirl Reef) were lovely - the latter being our last & best dive of our WA trip: very nice!Plentiful nice on-board food, helpful & accommodating, thanks for the great day in lovely conditions!
Rottness Deep dive This was my second dive with Perth scuba/Blue destiny. This one was the advertised deep dive. The experience was great, the crew was friendly and chatty, and the boat/hire equipment functioned well. Overall, a 5/5 experience, the marine sanctuary has some great caves to explore. My only recommendation for anyone looking to book this experience is definitely take some sort of seasick prevention, as the Rottnest Channel is notorious for having rough conditions that'll throw you around a bit. This will make sure you can have a pleasant boat ride, dives, and be able to enjoy the provided lunch without to much worry.
Great diving, Great Team, Great Day! I had a fantastic time diving with the Team organised by Perth Scuba and Blue Destiny. The instructions were clear, the boat was raring to go as I arrived, my pre-booked kit arrived shortly after I did, my hired PADI refresher buddy Geoff welcomed me and was fantastic throughout the entire day making sure my kit was sorted and that I was prepared to dive after it had been a couple of years since I had last been. Thanks Geoff! The team onboard are so helpful and cater to all your needs. I thought it was a great experience and would highly recommend and would do again in the future. Thanks Team.
Charter dive with the professional Blue Destiny Team! What an amazing dive! The crew were very helpful and accommodated everyone's needs from food to a much-needed chat to calm their nerves. The divers were positive and helpful and made me feel like I am in a show that's been rehearsed, and this gave me assurance and confidence. The dive also tested our buddy skills from buoyancy and underwater air tank release adjustments. A special thank you to the lovely crew supervisor Alana for making us all feel welcome and going through all the important safety checks regarding the trip and the dive. The sea was calm at Rottnest Island and even the crew took a quick swim too. I think that was the first time I saw them do that. Just awesome!
Thanks again for another stellar dive and performance. Keep up with 5-star professional dive charter experience! You guys make it look so easy, and we just love being part of the dive family with you! :) . Looking forward to my next booking!
Easy spectacular diving From the initial greeting at the boat through all the information on board to the final disembark my buddy and I felt thoroughly looked after. The diving was exceptional and the entry and exit procedures were truly smooth. Fish life was abundant, seeing moray, stonefish, stingray and a host of wrasse & angelfish, really worth it. Thank you Blue Destiny company, boat and crew. Barry & Simon
WONDERFUL ! First time on Blue Destiny. Definitely won't be my last! Well equipped vessel with super friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommend.
Rotto Dive Experience The weather wasn’t ideal for boating or diving, though the crew made sure we had a great day. Plenty of good humour, always on hand to help and their local knowledge ensured we found some pristine dive spots and had a fantastic day. Loved the experience and booking for our next one. Jump on board, you’ll love it!
My go-to day dive tour in Perth As a Perth local, I really enjoy these day diving trips with Blue Destiny.The reefs around Rottnest Island are absolutely beautiful, with various sites having multiple swim-throughs and caves with corals and marine life. There are trips for both open-water qualified divers (max 18m) and those who want to dive deeper.
The lunch provided on board is really tasty, and I always have to remind myself not to overeat lest I berley the schools of fish on the second dive after lunch!
The staff are friendly and there are clear safety briefings at the start of every tour, and clear roll calls after every dive.
Each day tour will often include some divers who are completing a dive course, whether it is open water or advanced, but the surrounds are big enough that there is no clashing when all divers are in the water. So even if you are on a day tour that has a full boat of divers, it does not feel crowded when you are in the water.
Overall, highly recommended.
Great day of diving i had a great time aboard Blue Destiny the crew members were super friendly and helpful and made the whole experience enjoyable. i’ll definitely be going out on the Blue Destiny to go diving again .
Rottnest Island dive trip We had a very nice day a Rottnest Island. The crew and especially our dive guide were perfectly organized and Alyssia took care of us the whole time. It was a really friendly atmosphere!!! We were really pleased with everything! 5 stars for all!
Squishy, Sharky and Kyla Approved 🚀 We had a fantastic day celebrating Sharky’s 2102nd dive with Blue Destiny and Perth Scuba — a true milestone we’ll never forget. The crew were outstanding: the Skipper ran operations with integrity, Thomas not only wrangled his wetsuit but also kept spirits high with humour while delivering pro-level dive guiding to our visitors from Hong Kong, and Alana embodied true dive-master professionalism — always watchful, supportive, and ready with a helping hand.Strict 20/20 head counts and roll calls gave us total confidence — a refreshing contrast in an industry where accountability, professionalism, and safety are sometimes treated as optional. Blue Destiny proves these values are never negotiable, setting the benchmark for what diving should be: safety, seamanship, and fun all in one.
Diving on Blue Destiny is the perfect day out, thanks heaps 🩷 What a fabulous day on Blue Destiny. Alana, Thomas, Ethan and Dario were the best value- so safety conscious, initiative, caring and funny.It's definitely your staff that make a day diving on BD extra special
The two dives were quite different, but I always love Crystal Palace - so much to see and also learnt a lot from my buddies as well. Very thorough dive briefs.
The only down side for me personally, is I wish the yummy lunch was after the two dives, as I can't eat very much (so more my problem than yours) and probably logistically wouldn't work anyway!
Thank you for an awesome day out diving beautiful Rotto .
Overall Great Experience Went out on the Deep Dive on 23/08/25. While conditions were nice at the top, underwater it was reduced visibility. The Skipper did a great job in finding the best dive site, even putting a diver in the first spot to check visibility prior to us all going in, which resulted in a move. We got two great dives in and I was appreciate of the efforts to avoid the first proposed site.As per my first experience, much was great, with plenty to go around. The rest of the crew couldn't do enough and the focus on the dive briefing and dive safety was obvious.
Cant recommend Blue Destiny enough!
The Boat, Crew, Clientele and FOOD made the day! On the day the conditions and luck weren't with me and with low vis cold water (and only my summer wettie), while some divers saw good stuff e.g. Big Wobbie I didn't, those days happen in diving. BUT I still had a GREAT day out thanks to all at BD.It really highlighted for me JUST HOW GOOD the boat, crew, people (crew and customers) and FOOD! were because I had a fantastic day AS A WHOLE - I remember leaving tired but happy after a bloody good day on the ocean, a humpback whale, couple dolphins and great surface weather to be on a very comfortable boat.
Also it highlighted for me just how great the food was, I missed brekkie and was cold after my first dive but felt a lot better on 2nd dive after a generous hot lunch of Lamb and Gravy roll and delicious potato bake, salad AND pasta! Its like being on a live aboard but at home!
Can't wait to go again - I need to sort out better thermal protection to extend my dive season then get out again.
I really love the improvements to the ladders the owners have done extending the handles higher makes boarding a lot easier, night and day! - this came about by them talking and listening to their customers. Great skipper, DM and crew. They run a tight ship and great safety procedures without being overbearing and keeping it very fun. I've been diving many years with BD and hope to dive many more.
Dive trip to Rottnest My partner and I went for a dive to Rottnest with Blue Destiny, challenging conditions with the weather but the crew handled it with professionalism. Alana and Ethan made sure all the gear was set up properly and gave an informative dive brief.Ethan took us down and guided us through Crystal Palace, beautiful dive site and landscape!
The boat was comfortable and well equipped, buffet lunch and desert were amazing
Would recommend Blue Destiny for anyone looked to experience Rottnest from a different perspective
Rottnest dive Really energetic and lovely staff. A few of us divers, that had just met opted in for a last minute dive guide and they were more than happy to organise that. Great food and lots, you won't go hungry.
WORST SNORKEL TOUR IN PERTH Firstly I could not even select my snorkelling tour because it is not even in the drop down menu it's all about diving tours.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.
horrible diving guide and diving gear, worst diving experience worst dive trip ever. ive done trips with other diving operators and they made me feel safe. but with this dive trip have lots of red flags - i'm not comfortable with the diving gear they provided to me. booties were torn apart , also the diving jacket outer layer was also torn and the fishy smell wet suit that i couldn't breath wearing and almost impossible to remove it, i want to cut it with scissors as i im really uncomfortable. i wore diving suits for winter when did the great white shark cage diving in South Africa and i don’t have any problem . also there’s something wrong with thecoxygent tank they provided it was leaking they should check it first as safety protocol. i am very particular in safety checks. we paid for refresher guide so i expected il be more comfortable to dive but all we got is he just shouting at us & even question our capabilities to dive . horrible rude diving guide . we never experienced the same when we dive in other places and countries as well. i ended up not doing it coz i dont feel safe with my diving gear and should've been a fun dive but ended up being disappointed with our rude guide. I wouldn't recommend this tour. make sure to make it clear with them that they provide you quality gear and good guide. even my partner and cuz felt the same way. wasted our time & money on this trip. not good for snorkelling too as the swell is huge. if you want to snorkel better go at Rottness island.
Great day out at rotto Great dive trip, friendly crew (especially phil 😉), great food and well organized dives, even when the boat is full. Great for fun divers students and cray hunters.
So awesome Another wonderful day on Blue Destiny. All the staff were so helpful and professional and the lunch was the best! Highly recommended for any divers wanting a really good day out, enjoying all the treasures of Rottnest
Awesome Day on Blue Destiny What a great day out on Blue Destiny. The crew were amazing and Phil made sure we were looked after and well fed. The dive spits were great. I would highly recommened a trip with them.
Amazing trip! Amazing day out on the blue destiny! The crew was amazing, the food was really good. Will definitely be aboard the blue destiny again very soon!And we got to see whales which was unreal!
Glorious Rottnest! Been diving Blue Destiny many years and love it. I don't have a business relationship beyond being a regular customer and know these guys by having been a long time customer originally and like the team.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".
Awesome dive boat Awesome dive boat, they provide a lot of info about the local dive sites and provide a safe diving environment as well as serving a great buffet lunch!
Dangerous! Rude! Disgusting! I was fishing from my boat with two other fishers at Roe Reef when Blue Destiny turned up looking to anchor beside us. It proceeded to anchor up within 15m to 20m from my boat. Not only is this extremely rude, it’s way too close for a huge boat like that anchor to avoid a potential collision. 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!
Incredible underwater terrain This was my 4th dive trip to Rottnest Island with Blue Destiny. As always it was a great day out, very well organised and the Diving over there is just outstanding with lots of sealife and the underwater terrain is amazing. Loved the shark cave: not just sleeping sharks but quite active (in a non-threatening way). If you aren't sure about the navigation, follow someone who knows where they are going. Food is very good. Staff are legendary. Thanks to Ali , Wayne (the skipper) and the rest of the crew
Great day on Blue Destiny Amazing day over in Rotto. Very well looked after by Joey, Lee, Ellie and Mark the skipper.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.
Stunning adventure . Great time Mate the crew where really good at explaining the journey and the routine. 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
Outstanding diving experience from booking to diving and leaving the boat. Such wonderful crew who share their passion! We have dived on the Blue Destiny quite a few times, first doing our certification and then for some fabulous fun dives at Rottnest. Every time we have been impressed by the whole operation. The boat is well set up for diving with plenty of space and sunny nooks. A delicious banquet lunch makes it special. The best element are the crew. They helped our son (who is 13) at every opportunity feel safe, supported and most importantly to fall in love with diving! Thank you for helping our family enjoy a whole new pastime together.
Great dives at the shark cave and wrecks. The Blue Destiny currently is the best dive charter in Perth. However one thing that would surpass the Lionfish IV would be hot showers plumbed in the toilets (like lion fish IV). Otherwise the crew and and the skipper are always superb. The food and snacks are awesome. The two dives on the day i went out on (30th Nov) were really enjoyable but unfortunately no Cary’s could be taken; most divers like the idea of perhaps grabbing a sea chook or two? I am a loyal and continuing blue destiny customer.
Rottnest sculptures I was bought a gift voucher to go in a snorkeling trip to see the reefs around Rottnest Island. Easy process to claim. On the boat, the skipper gave a safety talk that would teach Qantas a thing or two about how to wear a life vest. The weather was superb and sea conditions gentle, and the reefs different but with their water-current sculpted stratified rock formations (caves, arches, cantilevers), and a great diversity of fish doing their business, really exciting. The crew were superb in getting us in and out of the water, with dinghy support. Always cheerful and informative. The meal was plentiful, nicely cooked and presented. It was a day I will always cherish.
Horrible for beginners This trip is definitively not for beginners! I booked snorkeling gear and extra stuff like a snorkeling vest and fish ID slate but I only got the wetsuit and the snorkeling gear which didn’t really fit (flippers to big, wetsuit with a hole). My expectation was a short introduction into snorkeling but instead we were just dropped off in the ocean in the middle of nowhere where the next beach was maybe 200 m away. Especially as a beginner when you are not used to breathing through your mouth it is the most horrible experience to just drop someone off without explaining anything. We made it close to an island where we saw the amazing underwater world but as a beginner it was advanced to be so far away from the next boat with the strong current. When we went back to the small boat, water came inside and the boat almost sank so we had to get off again. I never felt safe and was afraid to made it back. I was really looking forward to this trip and I was happy that my friend was with me in the water otherwise I was close to a panic attack. 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!!
An exciting day out A professional and friendly crew. My daughter and I have social challenges and the staff showed the greatest care and empathy. We loved snorkelling with the sea lions and over shipwrecks. Humpback whales were a bonus!
Perfect for everyone Brilliant dive spots. Saw so many amazing different parts, with snorkelling opportunities on the side and lunch. Would definitely recommend to any super new beginners or experienced to divers!
Best dive boat in WA I have been on the blue destiny a lot of times and I have always had a great time. The crew works hard to ensure everyone has a great experience.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!
Always a great day out diving with Blue Destiny! Great catering, first class dive support and plenty of room on board. Everything you need to experience best the amazing diving around Rottnest Island.
The best dive charter in Perth Great crew beautiful boat. Very smooth trip which was well organised and run efficiently. The captain was very professional as were the crew. Safety was a high priority onboard. The lunch was great and included vegetarian options. Added bonus was having a pod of humpback whales visit us at lunch! The crew had good knowledge of the dive sites we visited and again ensured everyone was safe going into the water and that everyone came back.
Great day Devan is a great DM, manages the boat well . Well-done mate, considering that many ppl on board! He made sure that everyone is safe and happy, and followed procedures. Happy to see grey nurse sharks during the dive. The food was good buffet on board. The dive was pushed back by one day as it was supposed to be deep dives. I didn't mind that the second dive was a nice easy one since we've seen the sharks and the weather was beautiful!
Great Experience! Had an amazing day diving at Rotto. Everyone including staff and other passengers were all so kind which just made it a great atmosphere. Food was delicious with nothing to complain about regarding the options available. The diving was great with a good thorough safety brief and dive plan before we got into the water. Was well worth the money! Will be diving with them again in the future.
The best way to dive Rottnest Island Incredible day out, as always. We visited two great dive sites, the latter being Crystal Palace which is one of the most stunning dive sites in the entire country. The boat crew is always friendly and professional and they put on a great feed. You really can’t ask for me more.
Rottnest Scuba Diving at its best What a great day, always look forward to a day on blue Destiny diving Rottnest Island. Skipper places us right on the best dive sites, crew is friendly and lunch is awesome, we will be back
Great dives. I have been on this day tour several times and it is always a pleasure. The staff is friendly, helpfull and above all profesional. On top of that there's always a great atmosphere on the boat. Lots of laughs and sharing of dive stories. 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.
A perfect day again ! I had a wonderful day again with Blue Destiny! The crew is very nice and always happy to answer your questions, the food is yummy and the dive site choose by the skipper is always great! The boat is very spacious and convenient, the instructions give for the dive spot is very clear and the ambiance on board is just perfect for a lovely diving day. I’m always so exciting to spend a day with Blue Destiny Charters!
A Great Diving Experience I had a great day out on the water and a better day under the water, the crew were awesome, helpful and friendly, I was solo and they teamed me up with a great dive buddy, the two dives we did exceeded all expectations, the boat was amazing, the perfect set up for a dive boat, the food at lunch was tasty and a good variety, I highly recommend these guys for your next dive venture, thanks once again for a wonderful day out.
SMBs I really enjoyed the diving but not the bit we spent searching for the two divers that floated off into the distance without SMBs. The slipper was very worried.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.
Amazing Blue! I can’t say enough! I’ve been with Perth Scuba and Blue Destiny over the last 7 years! There’s no one Dive Charters better then Blue Destiny. Well equipped, High Standards, Safety First, Client Centred, Sharing and Caring, Respectful, Great Lunch, Friendly Staff and very supportive and helpful always! If you thinking of going SCUBA and Snorkeling. Strongly suggest Blue Destiny, for the price you pay you will never regret! Thanks so much guys! You are a great team! ♥️
