FAVOURITE LOCAL DIVE SITE: Crystal Palace
This is a really gorgeous site and so much fun to dive. I gets its name because the bubbles from your scuba rest on the roofs of the swim throughs and big open caves making it look like sparkling crystal. I have been lucky enough to dive it at night and during the day and it is spectacular.
Kim Woodcock
FAVOURITE LOCAL DIVE SITE: Sepia Wreck
The Sepia was a 54metre steel hull 3 masted Barque rigged sailing ship. It sank in 1898 and lies in about 15m of water between Carnac Island and Garden Island just off the Five Fathom Bank. The Sepia wreck is protected under the Historic Shipwrecks Act 1976. I have been diving this wreck for almost 40 years and have seen it at various stages of deteriation.
Karen Woodcock
FAVOURITE LOCAL DIVE SITE: BOGI
Back of Garden Island - it is always guaranteed to be full of fish and marine life as its geography offers a lot of natural hide-aways and protection. On this dive we are guaranteed to see lots of Crayfish (when they are in shallow), bright orange Nanygai, Western Blue Devils, Cuttlefish, Bullseyes, King George Whiting, Dhufish, Queen Snapper, King Fish, Old Wives, and so many more.
Amanda Batchelor
FAVOURITE LOCAL SHORE DIVE: POINT PERON
Any chance to go and I am there! While at first glance it seems like it' s only a mass of kelp, there are treasures within, with valley's and swim thru's and reef cave systems which are like another world. Off of the reef which is a sandy bottom there is not much fish life but at the reef and in the swim thru's and caves you will find oldwives, bullseyes, southern coral fish, wrasse and in one of the bigger caves you will find a school of silver drummer.

FAVOURITE LOCAL DIVE SITE: The Key Biscayne Wreck
This is a jack up oil rig than sank in a storm. Sitting in 42m of water, it's a great wreck for both recreational and technical dives. It's such a big structure that it's really difficult to see the whole thing on 2 dives.
Sarah Stoneham
FAVOURITE LOCAL DIVE SITE: Rockingham Wreck Trail
This is my favourite site because it's the first place I saw a Seahorse. You are virtually guaranteed to see them here, hanging off the ropes that connect the wrecks.
Emma Burdett
FAVOURITE LOCAL DIVE SITE Crystal Palace, Rottnest Island
A great place to dive both day and night! The topography of the site consists of interesting rock formations, swim throughs and caves. Around every corner there is something exciting to see, the marine life is fantastic including some of the largest cuttlefish and schools of fish I have ever seen! The best part about the site is watching the bubbles rise through the holes in the rocks as other divers swim under them, the light catches the bubbles and it looks like crystals in the water, hence the name of the site!
Nadine Evans
FAVOURITE LOCAL DIVE SITE: Ammo Jetty
This is a surprising gem of a shore dive. Sometimes there can be a little swell on top but generally it is great once you get under. With an abundance of octopus, look carefully for the globe fish, very pretty soft corals covering the pylons and of course the sealion that is a resident of this area. No matter how many times I dive there when he flits through your bubbles and across someone’s head it is guaranteed to make me jump!
