Welcome to Dolphin Scuba's new web site. It's only taken us a year to get it sorted so we hope you think it's worthwhile. Huge thanks to David Cook from WAUPS (West Australian Underwater Photographers Society) for the wonderful photos he has allowed us to use on the site.

PRAWN CLUB
It's been a great year and shows no signs of slowing up. Sunday morning shore dives are still happening every Sunday (funny that…) and the new inaugurated Prawn Stars Club meet every second Wednesday for a night of mayhem in the river chasing down those elusive little critters. Callum should have caught enough for a sandwich by next month. Just give us a call if you wish to join the Wednesday night nutters or come along for a sunday morning shore dive.

EXMOUTH DIVE TRIP
Dolphin Scuba's recent trip to Exmouth was a great success. Village Dive took excellent care of us as did Exmouth Dive for the Navy Pier dives. Whalesharks, mantas, humpbacked whales and dugongs were just a few of the amazing creatures spotted during the 4 days of diving and snorkeling. Needless to say everyone was in bed, tucked up by 8pm to get lots of rest in preparation for the next days' diving.

CONGRATULATIONS DIVERS
It's been a very busy couple of months on the diver training front with people up to all sorts. Congratulations to all those who have learn to dive or continued their dive education with us during the months of April and May:
