Ex-HMAS Swan Wreck Double Dive Experience
Highlights
Duration: 4 hours
Location: Dunsborough, WA
The HMAS Swan (DE 50) Wreck is one of the largest and most accessible dive wrecks in the Southern Hemisphere! After serving the Royal Australian Navy for two decades, the 113 metre decommissioned naval destroyer was scuttled off the coast of Dunsborough in 1997. It now rests on the ocean floor, transformed into one of Australia’s most popular dive wreck sites an teeming with life.
Sitting in 32 metres of water at the deepest point, the HMAS Swan reaches up 24m from the sea floor, with the crows nest sitting in 8m of turquoise water. This means there is ample exploring to be done at all levels, suitable for open water divers through to technical divers. Being sunk purposely as a dive wreck, it is truly a spectacular dive, with many large hull cut-outs allowing you to explore inside and out!
Beyond the wreck itself, there is a diverse range of marine life to be seen. From large grouper and batfish outside to schools of bullseye fish and Western Blue Devils inside the ships rooms.
