Rottnest Island scuba dive tour

This was my second dive with Perth scuba/Blue destiny. This one was the advertised deep dive. The experience was great, the crew was friendly and chatty, and the boat/hire equipment functioned well. Overall, a 5/5 experience, the marine sanctuary has some great caves to explore. My only recommendation for anyone looking to book this experience is definitely take some sort of seasick prevention, as the Rottnest Channel is notorious for having rough conditions that'll throw you around a bit. This will make sure you can have a pleasant boat ride, dives, and be able to enjoy the provided lunch without to much worry.

Really energetic and lovely staff. A few of us divers, that had just met opted in for a last minute dive guide and they were more than happy to organise that. Great food and lots, you won't go hungry.

Had an amazing time aboard Blue Destiny,crew were informative,safety conscious and extremely helpful,buffet lunch was great. Special shoutout to my divebuddy/guide Ethan from Perth Scuba who was nothing short of brilliant and made my day unforgettable! Will certainly be back Highly recommend.

Had an amazing day out. The crew catered to all my needs and the food was sensational. The boat was spacious and clean. The hot water shower after the dive left me feeling refreshed

I have been on the blue destiny many time as usual it didn’t disappoint. We had a fantastic time on our night dive and a huge shout out to Phil who as usual goes the extra mile to make sure everyone has the best time possible. The whole crew deserves a big thank you for a great night. My daughter was especially happy as she saw her first turtle which was amazing. Do yourself a favour and book your spot on the next available cruise, it never disappoints.

not the first time i have been out on Blue destiny and it will not be my last time, as every diver knows the ocean will provide everything or nothing, the captain always looks for the best spot taking in weather and sea currents, then the rest is up to the ocean. on board the boat its safety first followed by a very nice meal between the first and second dive. we are talking 3 types of salad, 2 types of roast meat with gravy, meat lasagna and vegan lasagna. then there is tea coffee snakes and fruit . its why i always book with them when in Perth

My wife and I dove with Blue Horizon and Perth Scuba on Jan 16th. The dive operation was very professional and the boat, staff and food were excellent. The dives were not quite as positive. Because I really wanted to see a specific fish at Rottnest Island, I hired a personal guide to assure that I had the best chance of finding the particular species that I wanted to see (Western Talma). The personal guide (MIlan) was super helpful, and he took care of every detail of the excursion. Really nice! The problem was that he had never been diving at Rottnest Island, ever! So he was not able to guide us underwater because he didn't know the dive sites or the undersea life. Both dives were on megaalgae reefs, and both dives had significant swell, which both churned up the sand on the bottom, and made it very disorienting. We became nauseous due to all the movement, and the lack of a horizon. At one point, we felt like we were inside a washing machine full of sand! On the second dive, we actutally came up early, after only 40 minutes. BUT, in the end, we did see the Western Talma, and Milan was the one who found it first. I'm sure that once he has some experience at Rottnest, Milan will be an outstanding guide. We were just unlucky to get his first dive on a difficult day for sea conditions.

Fantastic dive boat. Very well equipped with a great crew and amenities. Glorious day with well selected sites for the conditions.

Great, safe, well run day - Weather was not so great on this day, forecast had looked good, plan had been to dive shark cave. Boat full of experienced divers but conditions at site were not what the forecast had led us to hope. No one said it but the unspoken peer pressure and desire to dive would have been felt by the Skippers (I've worked as a dive boat skipper and you hate to disappoint). They made the call, this is winter diving its to be expected. Did another dive, we tried diving shark cave later going over to site as conditions were supposed to improve, still they thought not right and marginal for their boat and customers on the day and made the call (it was not great) . Sure It was a shame and I was disappointed but by nature not by the crew we still had a good day the crew work hard to make it so. The boat is spaceous and comfortable and good value for money. Food is OK, some of it I find not so great and some of it bloody tasty, but love diving off a boat big enough to eat a hot meal. Skipper put us into a quiet bay over lunch which made lunch peaceful and relaxing. While we have come out of lockdown now, the crew also were running around wiping everything down often and had a good strategy to manage risk people spaced out reasonably. I have been diving several years with this boat - this day is a good example why - this may seem a strange way to give a review but my point is you can trust this company to look after you well. PS - I've also done many mind blowingly great dives out at Rottnest with these guys. I recommend them.

Mate, very well professional outfit, but the characters onboard and new faces diving turned it into a wicked dive day full of stories and a crayfish feed at the end of the day, win win
