Fish Rock and Fishrock Cave Boat Dives
details
At Fishrock Dive Centre in South West Rocks, all of our adventures start with a boat ride designed for comfort, safety, and easy access to some of Australia’s most iconic dive sites.
Our 12-metre purpose-built dive vessel features a spacious deck, cabin toilet, warm shower. Whether you’re exploring Fish Rock Cave, diving with schooling grey nurse sharks, or seeking the thrill of hammerhead season, every trip is supported by expert crew, modern facilities, and eco-conscious practices.
Before we depart, our team provides all the essentials — tanks, weights, and Nitrox (for certified divers) — and fits you with any pre-arranged rental gear. You can select exactly what you need through our online booking system, ensuring a seamless start to your dive day.
For those looking to build skills, you can even add a Nitrox course, completing the theory online before arrival and finishing with hands-on training on the boat.
From the moment you step aboard until your return to our private dock, every detail is taken care of — so you can focus on what matters most: diving into extraordinary encounters beneath the sea.
