Diving at Rottnest Island

Please note there is currently no dive tank refilling service available on Rottnest.

The diversity of fish, coral species and shipwrecks in the waters around Rottnest Island make it one of the most fascinating dive sites to be found in such close proximity to a capital city.

Dive operators based on the mainland conduct day trips and dives at Rottnest Island. Contact the visitor centre for more information about dive tours, equipment for hire and dive site details.

Please take care when diving around coral as it is easily damaged and may take many years to recover. Note that spearguns and handspears are not permitted in the Marine Reserve.

See the marine life section of the site for more information about what you can expect to see on a dive in the Rottnest Island Marine Reserve.
