Great day out at rotto - Great dive trip, friendly crew (especially phil 😉), great food and well organized dives, even when the boat is full. Great for fun divers students and cray hunters.

Glorious Rottnest! - Been diving Blue Destiny many years and love it. I don't have a business relationship beyond being a regular customer and know these guys by having been a long time customer originally and like the team. I had a great day although the first dive wasn't the greatest as buddies worked out buoyancy and air consumption but that's diving for you (nothing to do with crew) 2nd dive was awesome once one of the buddies who was travelling had worked out his weights (often happens which is why its best when travelling to do a few dive days). Second dive we dived one of my favourite sites at Rottnest - Crystal Palace it really shows some of the best of Rottnest in one dive. Vis was awesome (actually better on dive 1 but still awesome dive 2). Reef was full of schools of little fish called "pomfreds" (i love swimming with schools of fish swirling about), 2 giant caverns each with lots of holes in the roof so you could see much of the caves safely without being in an overhead environment as you could still vertically egress. Colourful sponges, corals, critters, fish. This was what diving Rotto is about and water warm too 23C I was toastie. Crew was helpful as can be, as always. I realised I made a gaff and my wetsuit boots had dropped out of my bag in my car (my fault) crew said "no worries' loaned me a pair! Food is varied there's a wide choice so I always find something to eat e.g. I love the crusty bread rolls with Roast beef (which are always on) there is also potato bake, nice salads and good penne and vegan options. There's hot showers right at the back deck to flush your wetsuit with hot water on exit, unlimited tea and a big jar of jellies and biscuits, (which unusually today's divers didn't manage to finish!), 3 large heads (toilets) to change in. The boat is crazy good in bad weather and there's a large sun deck for nice days with large cabin for bad weather. She runs at 20 knots very smoothly gets across the rough open water quick and into the shelter of the island even on horrible days (its not always sun) Blue Destiny can dive on days most private boats can't yet despite the size she can still get in close as a Cat with 2 engines she's highly manoeuvrable. I regularly dive with Blue Destiny (especially on days my little boat can't manage) and another competitor both operations I like a lot and I recommend both to friends as this is a review for BD I highly recommend them AND Perth Scuba. One other thing I really value - I usually bring my own tanks (you bring a tank and get a 2nd boat one) but at present their freo operation fills your tank if you've been on BD (show them your receipt) which really makes things easy for me since I can refill my tanks ready for shore dive and not have to wait till next day off to go and get a fill. I got some nice (I think) photos on the 2nd dive some of my favourites are below. Can find more photos and videos of this and other trips on fb/u tube "Aquatic Australia".

Great Experience! - Had an amazing day diving at Rotto. Everyone including staff and other passengers were all so kind which just made it a great atmosphere. Food was delicious with nothing to complain about regarding the options available. The diving was great with a good thorough safety brief and dive plan before we got into the water. Was well worth the money! Will be diving with them again in the future.

Great dives. - I have been on this day tour several times and it is always a pleasure. The staff is friendly, helpfull and above all profesional. On top of that there's always a great atmosphere on the boat. Lots of laughs and sharing of dive stories. On the way to the dive sites we have previously spottet humback whales (not a rare occurence depneding on the time of year). This time (march) however, we were joined by dolphins playing in the waves and a turtle. The dive sites have beautiful corals and schools of fish of varying sizes. Also, it is not rare to spot sting rays.

WORST SNORKEL TOUR IN PERTH - Firstly I could not even select my snorkelling tour because it is not even in the drop down menu it's all about diving tours. Secondly when I purchased this tour the description was Snorkelling around Rottnest Island is something you need to tick off their bucket list. The waters are teaming with marine life, underwater caves, caverns, and colourful corals you can see for yourself. Departing Fremantle, you'll head over to Rottnest Island and visit multiple snorkel sites throughout the day. Refuel with a delicious buffet lunch while onboard and enjoy the sights around Perth's most popular destination. I did not see any colourful corals nor where the waters teaming with marine life. I was lucky to see one fish swim by. We were told to swum around the boat because we were are 2 dives sites with your divers. The water was so deep on one side and 3 metres on the other and u could still barely see anything. The trip was not planned around snorkelling. It was completely mis leading and every snorkeller on the boat was not happy and disappointed. Seriously just one bog money grab and you should be ashamed of your self for using people. I will be making a complaint to the accc because you did not deliver what your description was and you did not want to approve a refund. We did not visit multiple snorkel sites we went to 2 dove sites very far put from rottness island. Worst experience I have been on in my life. All I wanted to do was get off the boat and some other snorkellers did as well. Don't rip off people any more and stop these tours.

horrible diving guide and diving gear, worst diving experience - worst dive trip ever. ive done trips with other diving operators and they made me feel safe. but with this dive trip have lots of red flags - i'm not comfortable with the diving gear they provided to me. booties were torn apart , also the diving jacket outer layer was also torn and the fishy smell wet suit that i couldn't breath wearing and almost impossible to remove it, i want to cut it with scissors as i im really uncomfortable. i wore diving suits for winter when did the great white shark cage diving in South Africa and i don’t have any problem . also there’s something wrong with thecoxygent tank they provided it was leaking they should check it first as safety protocol. i am very particular in safety checks. we paid for refresher guide so i expected il be more comfortable to dive but all we got is he just shouting at us & even question our capabilities to dive . horrible rude diving guide . we never experienced the same when we dive in other places and countries as well. i ended up not doing it coz i dont feel safe with my diving gear and should've been a fun dive but ended up being disappointed with our rude guide. I wouldn't recommend this tour. make sure to make it clear with them that they provide you quality gear and good guide. even my partner and cuz felt the same way. wasted our time & money on this trip. not good for snorkelling too as the swell is huge. if you want to snorkel better go at Rottness island.
