Editorial Assessment

While Perth Ocean Diving offers outstanding marine experiences and access to vibrant underwater environments close to a major city, it ranks below the top tier of natural landmarks globally. Its appeal lies firmly in the quality of its local marine biodiversity and professional diving services rather than in unique or rare geological formations. The accessibility and safety standards make it a great destination for diving enthusiasts and families, though it does not feature naturally unique geological features that would elevate it to higher iconic status.

Our son completed the bubble maker scuba program fo children with instructor Marie. He had an excellent time doing it. He felt safe and comfortable all the way through and still learning a lot. Marie made sure that all the safety rules were followed by the children. There was a thorough explanation of the rules and instructions on land before they entered the pool where they had lots of fun. We would definitely recommend it!

Great refresher OWD course! Highly recommended! It's been 10 years since my last dive and I did my refresher course with Marine at Omeo Wreck. Both on land and in the water, Marine was ace! She was attentive, knowledgeable and passionate! She was very good at dealing with various knowledge levels and skills in the group, and made us feel at ease throughout the session.

“I’m not from the area at all (Netherlands) and had already completed 498 dives (Rescue Diver) in total. Before leaving Perth, I really wanted to reach 500 dives. I initially made contact through the website, and later by phone and WhatsApp. My first choice was to dive at Rottnest Island, but I was just too late as it was already fully booked. The alternative was Rockingham. At first, there was really only the possibility of doing one dive, because there was only one other buddy who wanted to dive at that time. The dive itself wasn’t quite what I had expected, but we were simply unlucky with the underwater visibility. I then joined a second dive with the instructor and her open water students. I had been informed beforehand that the visibility would likely be poor on this dive anyway due to the students. In the end, I still really enjoyed this dive—seeing people who were just starting out, just like I once did. One tip I would give the instructor is that in a situation like this, it might be better to complete the training with at least one colleague present, in order to maintain better oversight of the students. I didn’t mind helping out as an extra pair of hands in this case.” I was in Perth from 25-2 til 13-3 and made the dive on a sunday the 8th of march. Grtz Pierre
