Hi there,
 
Did you know that you can get rewarded for referring your friends and family to learn to dive with us? Just print out the referral card on our website or pick some up at the shop. When they finish the course we’ll give you AND them $30 credit to use for scuba gear, servicing or cylinder fills
 
Successful Scuba InstructorsIt’s been a very busy week here at Dolphin Scuba. Congratulations to our newly qualified instructors, Richard, Kieran and Mark, who performed really well at their Instructor Exam last Thursday.

The gang out at Rottnest had a great day on Saturday with Humpbacked Whales around the boat. The Sunday shore dives pootled off to Woodman Point where lots of nudibranchs were found.
 
The first wave of Nitrox Divers passed their exam on Sunday with flying colours. So if you think it’s going to be difficult to learn, think again. At only $99 for the course and only $8 for a 32% fill, you really can’t go wrong. Give us a call if you need more information about what’s involved.

Liz EarpFAVOURITE 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.

Sarah StonehamFAVOURITE 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

Sarah StonehamFAVOURITE 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

AmandaFAVOURITE 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.

Tech Diving InstructorFAVOURITE 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.

Meet Callum

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 BurdettFAVOURITE 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

Nadine EvansFAVOURITE 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!
