WESTERN AUSTRALIA

EXMOUTH
Exmouth is one of the newest towns in Australia founded in 1967 as a support town for the US Naval Communications Station and is the nearest access point for the magnificent Ningaloo Marine Park. The Ningaloo Reef is the largest Fringing Coral reef in the world. It is home to over 500 species of fish and 250 soft and hard corals. March is coral spawning time and this triggers the arrival of the world’s largest fish, the whale shark. During winter months humpback whales and their calves migrate to rest and play in these warm waters. During the summer months giant turtles can be seen as they come to shore to lay their eggs and their babies hatch and scuttle back to the ocean. Safe year round swimming and temperate waters make Exmouth a haven for diving enthusiasts. Flights are available to Learmonth, the closest airport to Exmouth from Perth.

Regarded as the largest ship in the southern hemisphere to be scuttled for dive purposes the HMAS Swan will bring a new dimension to what is already a thriving community.

Located a little over 200km south of Perth at Dunsborough, the Swan shipwreck is an incredible dive. Sunk purposely in 1997 for divers the wreck lies upright in 35 metres of water, she is 113 metres long and over 30 metres wide. The average visibility we receive in this area is 18-25 metres. In the short time the Swan has been down, she has already become home to many different species of fishes, and is a dive not to be missed while you are visiting Western Australia.
