The Swan

Located in the Indian Ocean, a little over 200km south of Perth at Dunsborough, the Swan shipwreck is an incredible dive. Once the H.M.A.S Swan – a Naval destroy escort ship, she was prepared and purposely sunk for divers in 1997. Today the Swan rests upright in 32 meters of water. She is 113 meters long and over 30 meters wide. She is home to many different species of marine life and corals. Definitely a not-to-be-missed dive while you are visiting the South West of Western Australia. The Dive Shed runs Swan dives daily (subject to weather conditions). Please remember, June, July and August are winter months and diving conditions will not be at their best.

Busselton Jetty

Busselton Jetty is a 2 kilometre long wooden jetty situated adjacent to the tourist town of Busselton, 275 kilometres south of Perth in Western Australia.

The original structure was built in 1865 to service whaling ships. The best diving is at the end of the jetty. Jetty pylons stand like tall trees, each populated with a vibrant mixture of corals and temperate water invertebrate like nudibranchs. Schools of yellowtail scad and pike often hang like clouds. You’ll also discover starfish, crabs, shrimp, shellfish and small non-pelagic fish such as blennies, clingfish and other gobies. Occasionally, jewfish and samson fish zoom through. And if you’re extremely lucky, you may catch sight of a dolphin. The Busselton Jetty is a photographer’s underwater paradise. With a maximum depth of only 8 metres, even a novice diver can enjoy a long bottom time.
