Our long term commitment to this area of the Ningaloo Reef allows us to know where to find the very best snorkelling, diving and to have the most reliable and exciting interactions on our Whaleshark Swim, with the myriad of creatures that call this area home.
Exmouth Dive is the only PADI 5 Star Instructor Development (IDC) Centre on the Ningaloo Reef, offering a complete diver training service: from Open Water to professional level Dive Master & Instructor Training. We are open 7 days a week for sales and service, dive tours, equipment hire, air fills and PADI diving courses. With Four Boats we can get you out on the reef…
Don’t just come for the fun of a Whaleshark swim, as there are many other seasonal visitors to the Ningaloo reef. Humpback whales are in the area from June until November and Manta rays can be seen along the Ningaloo Reef near Exmouth from May to November. As summer arrives, so do the Green, Loggerhead and Hawksbill turtles and they begin their nesting season after mating during October and November and can be seen on the beaches right up until March.
Add the bio-diversity of 250 species of corals, a great assortment of Nudibranches and over 500 different species of fish including local reef sharks to the mix and it makes Exmouth an impressive destination all year round.
Exmouth Diving Centre is located just behind the Potshot hotel on Payne St.
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.

Whale Swimming Participants
From August 1st 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.
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, and have snorkelled within the past 6 months to be eligible to enter the water with a whale.
Whale watch participants
Whale watchers will experience a snorkel on the beautiful Ningaloo Reef and will observe the Humpback whales from the boat, closer than any other whale watching tour. If there are swimming spots still available you may be permitted to upgrade on the day of the tour.
Please note that whales are completely wild and we do not disrupt their natural behaviours in any way. For this reason we cannot guarantee that all swimming guests will experience an in water interaction.

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.

You can also have the option to spread it out over a longer period if you need to work and train at the same time.

planning, condition evaluation, tank filling and much more.

Certification Level 1
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
- How to analyse cylinder gas contents
- Enriched air scuba diving equipment considerations
- Enriched air considerations, including managing oxygen exposure and how to set your dive computer
The course includes:-
- PADI Five Star Certification.
- The Enriched Air Nitrox Computer Pass.
- Two tanks of enriched air Nitrox appropriate to the dive site.
- All Enriched Air Nitrox fills and certification costs covered by us — no hidden extras!!!
- Personal instruction in small groups.
- All transport to and from the shop and dive sites provided.
Prerequisites:-
- Be 15 years of age.
- Be a certified Open Water Diver or higher (Advanced Open Water recommended).

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. If you arrive in Exmouth a few days prior to your start date you will have time to collect your book, watch the DVD and do your homework. If not we can post the book to your home address in Australia. This usually costs about $12 — $18 and we can just add this to your outstanding balance if you need your book before you arrive in Exmouth.
The alternative to doing your homework with the PADI Open water manual is to complete the theory online. There are two online 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. You will do your knowledge reviews online and required to present these on the morning of your course, the Final exam is then done in the classroom. This option is at no extra charge. The 2nd option is via e‑learning which you can sign up through PADI and costs an additional $150 on top of the course cost, but if you register our store number 8165 as the store where you will be completing the course with you will receive a $40 dollar credit towards your e‑learning course. You do all the theory,
knowledge reviews and final exam online 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 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!
Before booking, please contact us so we can discuss the PADI medical questions with you. If you answer yes to any of the questions you must see a Doctor for a diving medical certificate done to Australian Standard 4005.1 stating that you are fit to dive prior to starting your course for your own safety. There is a medical centre right in the heart of Perth city — across from the bus port. Traveler’s Medical Centre, 1 Mill St. Phone 08 9321 1977. Just ring and make an appointment. Medicals are not currently reliably available in Exmouth so you must get your medical completed to the correct standard before you arrive. Refunds are not available if you are unable to obtain a medical.
Please make sure you give yourself a bit of flexibility during your visit! While we love mother nature, sometimes the weather doesn’t go to plan and we need an extra day to finish off your course. :)
