Exmouth Dive Centre - Exmouth Whaleshark Centre

Sur­round­ed by an abun­dance of coral gar­dens, rocky ledges and intrigu­ing dive sites, the Muiron Islands are locat­ed about 10nm north east of Exmouth. Keep your eyes open dur­ing the 45 minute trip across to the Islands for ospreys, shear­wa­ters, tur­tles, man­ta rays, dol­phins, dugongs, and dur­ing their migra­tion, hump­back whales.

We have a wide range of dive sites with a max­i­mum depth of 20m and usu­al­ly only gen­tle cur­rents, the dive sites around the Muiron Islands are suit­able for all lev­els of snorkel­ers and divers. Swim-throughs and ledges pro­vide plen­ty of places to search for shrimps, nudi­branchs, eels, juve­nile angelfish and oth­er timid crea­tures. In mid-water and against the reefs look for friend­ly pota­to cod, large rankin cod, tur­tles, nurse sharks, soft coral gar­dens, anemones, clams and 1000’s of dart­ing, colour­ful reef fish. Late in the year, man­ta rays grace sev­er­al of our dive sites, too.

Includ­ed;

- A fresh buf­fet lunch, drinks and snacks

- High qual­i­ty snorkel equipment

- Expe­ri­enced crew to guide you on your adventure! 

- Free Nitrox for all cer­ti­fied divers. 

- Com­ple­men­tary trans­fers from accom­mo­da­tion in Exmouth. 

We offer a com­plete snorkel and div­ing ser­vice, with pro­fes­sion­al and help­ful staff. Talk to us about our oth­er snorkel and div­ing char­ters, cours­es and ser­vices — we are only too will­ing to assist. 

Explore the amaz­ing under­wa­ter world of the Ninga­loo Reef. Our tour vis­its two dif­fer­ent dive sites so you can expe­ri­ence the diver­si­ty found in this amaz­ing region. Tur­tles, sea snakes, Man­ta Rays, wobbe­gongs, sea fans, soft corals, moray eels, bat­fish, whitetip reef sharks, nudi­branchs, colour­ful reef fish and many more crit­ters pro­vide an end­less feast for your eyes! We are con­stant­ly adding new dive sites and we choose the best sites on the day.

* Cer­ti­fied Div­er must have a logged dive with­in the past 12 months to par­tic­i­pate on our div­ing tours. If you do not have a recent dive, you’ll need to com­plete a refresh­er with us before head­ing out on the ocean dives. * Refresh­er ses­sions are a sim­ple review of basic dive plan­ning, equip­ment, the­o­ry and dive skills. These ses­sions usu­al­ly take 1.5−3 hours and include time in the pool, so you will need to wear your bathers and bring a tow­el. We sched­ule our refresh­ers on demand. Refresh­ers are cur­rent­ly $99/​person.

Whale Swim­ming Participants

THIS TOUR IS FOR GOOD SNORKELLERS ONLY!

From August 1^st until the end of Novem­ber we are autho­rized to oper­ate tours where guests may enter the water when the whales are relaxed, with a max­i­mum of group of 7 swim­mers plus a guide & Video­g­ra­ph­er in the water at a time, while non-swim­ming guests observe the whales the boat manoeu­vring as close as 75 meters! This is clos­er than any oth­er whale watch­ing cruise in Aus­tralia. This will give you a very spe­cial view for non-swim­mers to enjoy the whales as they dis­play their nat­ur­al behav­iours. FREE Video of your day Includ­ed (USB Not includ­ed, may be purchased)

The swim­mers, with the care­ful watch of their guide, will slide into the water and approach the Hump­back Whale. We have strict dis­tance guide­lines and safe­ty is para­mount in these very spe­cial encoun­ters. Swim­mers can approach as close as 30 meters from the whale which will pro­vide an excel­lent sur­face view of the ani­mals and allow the swim­mers to hear their beau­ti­ful songs. The whales are curi­ous and are allowed to approach us with­in 15 metres giv­ing us a unique close encounter. Our ded­i­cat­ed spot­ter plane pilot per­son­al­ly talks via radio, to the in-water guide to ensure a great interaction.

Before enter­ing the water near a whale, swim­mers will be required to take a quick in water swim­ming assess­ment as required by our license con­di­tions. You must be phys­i­cal­ly fit, over 13years old, MUST be a good snorkeller and have snorkelled with­in the past 6 months to be eli­gi­ble to enter the water with a whale. 

We also include an in water inter­ac­tion Guar­an­tee… If you don’t get to expe­ri­ence an in water inter­ac­tion with a Whale, Whale­shark or Man­ta Ray, you get 50% off the tick­et price of your next Whale swim tour.

Our PADI Advanced Open Water Course is a two day course and includes five dives from one of our ves­sels on the Ninga­loo Reef and we can begin any day. 

For the Advanced Course, you will do Deep and Nav­i­ga­tion plus three elec­tives. Elec­tives you can choose may include some of the fol­low­ing: Under­wa­ter Pho­tog­ra­phy, Under­wa­ter Nat­u­ral­ist, Boat Div­er, Peak Per­for­mance Buoy­an­cy, Search & Recov­ery or Fish ID. 

We need a min­i­mum of two stu­dents to con­duct the course. If it is just you we can reg­is­ter you in our file as a per­son who is inter­est­ed and try to find anoth­er per­son to do the course with you. Or you my chose to pay extra for a 1 on 1 course

We include the use of mask, snorkel, fins, wet­suit, BCD, reg­u­la­tor, tanks, weights, all of your tank fills, com­pli­men­ta­ry pick up and drop off to your in-town Exmouth accom­mo­da­tion and your cer­ti­fi­ca­tion fees. Also the PADI Adven­tures in
Div­ing Man­u­al is includ­ed and is yours to keep. Each stu­dent for our Advanced Course must have the fol­low­ing: Open Water or equiv­a­lent cer­ti­fi­ca­tion card, a log book, a tim­ing device and a logged dive from with­in the past 12 months.
If you do not have a cur­rent dive his­to­ry, you will need to do one of our Refresh­er ses­sions before your course. Depend­ing on which elec­tives you choose you might need to bring some spe­cial­ty items such as a slate for writ­ing under­wa­ter
or a cam­era for the pho­tog­ra­phy elec­tive ( some­times we can organ­ise cam­era hire). Just check when book­ing what extra items you might need.

If you haven’t had a dive from with­in the past 12 months, you will need to com­plete a refresh­er with us before com­menc­ing the course. Refresh­er ses­sions are a sim­ple review of basic dive plan­ning, equip­ment, the­o­ry and dive skills. These ses­sions usu­al­ly take around1.5 – 3 hours and include time in the pool, so you will need to wear your bathers and bring a tow­el. We sched­ule our refresh­ers dai­ly and advanced book­ings are required.

You do not need to have a div­ing med­ical for the Advanced Course but you must answer our med­ical ques­tion­aire. If you do have answered Yes to any ques­tions, you may need to arrange a div­ing med­ical and they can be hard to get in Exmouth, so we rec­om­mend hav­ing a look through the attached med­ical ques­tion­naire and get­ting any nec­es­sary med­icals done before arrival. We can­not refund course fees if you can­not get a med­ical and need one.

Through knowl­edge devel­op­ment ses­sions, water­skills exer­cis­es and work­shops, and hands-on prac­ti­cal assess­ment, you devel­op the skills to orga­nize and direct a vari­ety of scu­ba div­ing activ­i­ties. Top­ics and prac­ti­cal work­shops include:

• The role and char­ac­ter­is­tics of the PADI Divemaster
• Super­vis­ing dive activ­i­ties and assist­ing with stu­dent divers
• Div­er safe­ty and risk management
• Dive­mas­ter con­duct­ed pro­grams and spe­cial­ized skills

If you are doing your Dive Mas­ter train­ing with us, we can fit in the Res­cue and Emer­gency First Respon­der cours­es with your Dive Mas­ter train­ing sched­ule. You need at least 40 logged dives to begin and will need 60 logged dives includ­ing at least one night dive to com­plete your course. Please note: a night dive is not includ­ed in your Dive Mas­ter Course price. 

If you don’t have 40 logged dives yet we can arrange for you to com­plete your dives at an extra cost, on our tours for a reduced rate when you book the dives togeth­er with the dive­mas­ter train­ing course.

You will also need a div­ing med­ical cer­tifi­cate done to Aus­tralian Stan­dard 4005.1 stat­ing that you are fit to dive pri­or pri­or to start­ing the course. You are required to get the med­ical done before your arrival as med­icals for div­ing are not avail­able in Exmouth. We can­not refund course fees if you fail the med­ical so it’s best to do this before you pay for your training.

We require a min­i­mum of 7 – 8 weeks to com­plete your Dive Mas­ter train­ing thor­ough­ly to a high stan­dard, when you devote all your time to the course.

Our course includes your Dive Mas­ter Man­u­al, Ency­clo­pe­dia and Work­book; and a Dive Mas­ter in Train­ing crew shirt for you to keep. You can use any of our hire gear that you do not have (if it is avail­able), but you need your own PADI RDP, log book, tim­ing device, dive knife/​tool, torch, sig­nal­ing device, safe­ty sausage, under­wa­ter slates and mask/​snorkel. You will receive spe­cial rates on all equip­ment pur­chased with us. You can dive vir­tu­al­ly as much as you like dur­ing your course.

Cer­ti­fi­ca­tion Lev­el 1

Please ​‘OPT IN’ to receive email book­ing con­fir­ma­tions & our med­ical questionnaire.

How annoy­ing is it when the con­di­tions are per­fect but you have to ascend because your no-decom­pres­sion time has run out? Or your sec­ond dive has to be real­ly short because of resid­ual nitro­gen in your body? There is a solution…use Enriched Air Nitrox!

Div­ing with Enriched Air Nitrox is div­ing with high­er per­cent­ages of oxy­gen than nor­mal com­pressed air. By intro­duc­ing more oxy­gen into your breath­ing gas, your nitro­gen lev­els are reduced so your allow­able bot­tom time increas­es, i.e. div­ing with enriched air means more time under­wa­ter. It’s a safe way of get­ting more out of your div­ing.

There are many mis­con­cep­tions regard­ing Nitrox. Many think it’s a gas for deep tech­ni­cal divers only, where in fact, Nitrox is extreme­ly ben­e­fi­cial for the recre­ation­al div­er, par­tic­u­lar­ly div­ing between 15 and 40 meters. And if you’re doing more than one dive a day, the ben­e­fit on sub­se­quent dives is enor­mous.

So, if you’re into under­wa­ter pho­tog­ra­phy or wreck div­ing, on vaca­tion in some trop­i­cal par­adise and want to do as many dives as pos­si­ble or sim­ply out for a leisure­ly day of div­ing at your local site, our Enriched Air Nitrox course helps you get more out of your div­ing by safe­ly giv­ing you more time underwater.

Using air on an 18 metre dive gives you 56 min­utes of bot­tom time. If you dived using Enriched Air 32% NITROX you can extend your time to 95 min­utes and with 36% you can extend your time to 125 min­utes * Based no decom­pres­sion limits 

The Nitrox course con­sists of:

• 1 Brief ses­sion Academics.
• 2 dives. (1Day Off our Boat)

What you will learn

• How to safe­ly increase your no stop time
• Plan enriched air dives using dive computers

• Enriched air con­sid­er­a­tions, includ­ing man­ag­ing oxy­gen expo­sure and how to set your dive computer

The course includes:-

• The Enriched Air Nitrox Com­put­er Pass.
• Two tanks of enriched air Nitrox appro­pri­ate to the dive site.

Please note that there is about 5 – 8 hours of study includ­ing knowl­edge reviews to com­plete and a DVD to watch pri­or to start­ing your course.There are two options: first option is to receive an online ver­sion of the open water course man­u­al via email and a link to watch the required videos online.

This option is at no extra charge.

Sec­ond option, If you arrive in Exmouth a few days pri­or to your start date you will have time to col­lect a real book, watch the DVD and do your home­work.

You do all the the­o­ry,
knowl­edge reviews and final exam online, it is more inter­ac­tive & stream­lined, so you don’t need to spend as much time in the class­room and you save you valu­able hol­i­day time for more excit­ing adventures.

We need a min­i­mum of two peo­ple to run our Open Water Cours­es (some extra Fees may apply) so please con­tact us at the store on 9949 1201 if you are trav­el­ling by your­self. We may be able to line up anoth­er per­son to do the course with you or for an addi­tion­al fee we can run a 1 to 1 course.

The Whale­Sharks we vis­it are excep­tion­al­ly con­sis­tent in their habits and suc­cess­ful encoun­ters are extreme­ly reli­able.

We ask you to approach each encounter with cau­tion and respect, and nev­er to pre­sume we have any con­trol over their appear­ance or actions what­so­ev­er. These whale sharks favour our encoun­ters with curios­i­ty and much tolerance.

Your Crew will brief and assist you through­out the day with infor­ma­tion about the Whale Sharks: sex, behav­iour, feed­ing pat­terns, how to take pho­tos and more. They will also instruct you on how to best approach and swim with the Whale Sharks so that your encounter with the world’s largest fish is a tru­ly mem­o­rable one.
