| Balcatta Store ONLY- ROTTNEST ISLAND BOAT DIVES |
Course Dates |
On our Standard Course at Balcatta we complete four Training Dives, the last two training dives on our Specialist Dive Vessel "Southern Jaegar" at Rottnest Island. (Gold course receive Two additional Rottnest Island Boat Dives)
You will experience a fantastic day diving and snorkeling in the crystal clear waters of Rottnest Island. The Boat departs at around 8.30am for the first dive. During our break we anchor in one of the quiet bays and have lunch and snorkel or just sun bake. We then steam to the new dive sight for a final dive and then return home by approximately 2.00 pm.
While you learn to dive your friends are welcome to join you on the boat for the Day trip to Rottnest Island and also enjoy the fantastic dives at the same time. Cost for friends will be $95.00 for the Charter plus equipment hire if needed.
Gold Course participants get to build more confidence and experience with an additional two Boat Dives at Rottnest Island. We highly recommend this option as divers will obtain additional experience and subsequently build their confidence to be able to dive independently following the course. |
| Ocean Keys Clarkson Store ONLY - 4 LOCAL BOAT DIVES |
Course Dates |
On our Standard Course at Ocean Keys we complete four training shore dives, however, you can upgrade to four boat dives. With this option we can show
you some of the best diving available on our Specialist Dive Vessel " Blue Frontier" on the extensive Reef Formations along Perth's Northern Coast.
(Gold course receive Six Boat Dives in Total)
You will experience a fantastic day diving to many various locations. Unlike many other Dive stores we have found that the best diving in the North of Perth is from a boat and as a result we can offer divers four great boat dives for the same price as other stores doing shore dives.
Friends are welcome to join you on the boat , as you learn to dive, and enjoy the fantastic dives at the same time. Cost for friends will be $59.00 for the Charter plus equipment hire if needed.
Gold Course participants get to build more confidence and experience with six Boat Dives. We highly recommend this option as divers will obtain additional experience and subsequently build their confidence to be able to dive independently following the course.
