Enjoy a fun day of scuba diving at Rottnest island
The turquoise waters of Rottnest reveal to the divers multitudes of fish species. Composed of limestone, the reef is full of caves and swim-throughs, making every dive in Rottnest spectacular and thrilling. This dive trip day is right for anyone who is certified and has been diving within the last 12 months and confident in their abilities.
Aboard Linni, our private charter, we will leave East Street Jetty. Our crew will help you set up and make sure you are ready for a day of unforgettable scuba diving. We offer equipment rental that will be directly available on the boat, no need to pick it up at a dive shop. Our objective is to give you that Island Holiday feeling, that you only get abroad.
After an hour cruise, we will do our two dives in different locations. We choose the best site possible depending on your certification level and weather conditions. After the diving, we will have nice a nice hot shower and lunch before cruising back to Perth (return 2.30 winter schedule and 1:30pm summer schedule).
A Divemaster will lead the dives, while the skipper will prepare fruits platters, hot drinks and a famous lunch!
We pick our dive sites on the day, after we have talked with you. If you have been to Rottnest Island before, we will try to make you discover a new site (or bring you to your favourite spot). Rottnest Island has many iconic sites like Roe Reef, Crystal Palace, Shark Cave and Swirl Reef.

Rottnest Island hosts over 200 dive sites ranging from shallow reef to walls and caves and wrecks. The top Dive sites are Shark Cave, 3 wrecks, Opera House and Roe reef. We will choose the most appropriate site according to the divers experience and the weather on the day. We also try to surprise you with new spots and we are always looking for new holes to put our head in.
To dive Shark Cave, all the stars have to align perfectly: low swell, low wind and no current. Shar Cave is also an advanced dive down to 25 metres. When all conditions are right, we always to do our best to get there. Most of the time we advertise that the trip goes to Shark Cave on Facebook and Instagram a couple of day before. It is impossible for us to know more than a couple of day prior to the trip.

Rottnest is a limestone island, so plenty of swim throughs and caves to explore. Humpback whale season August-November. Grey Nurse sharks year round at Shark Cave.

Unfortunately, we are not able to provide that service. We do not know where we are diving before we get to the island and we might be at the opposite side of the island.

We take limited numbers of divers on Moonshine 2 so we cannot accommodate snorkelers on our dive trips. If you wish to join us for snorkeling, we run dedicated snorkeling trips. See our page:
