Comments We spent a week staying in Fremantle doing a mix of shore dives (mainland) and boat dives (Rottnest, described in another report). Logistically, attempting to do this over New Year was a nightmare, most dive shops/operators were shut for days on end, if not over the entire Xmas/New Year period. We rented tanks and, importantly, weights for the week from Divelocker, rates were reasonable, otherwise rental rates for weights at other dive centers were so high we considered paying for an extra hold bag on our trans-Pacific flight just to bring our own weights. An INVALUABLE source of information for shore-diving in the area is Howie’s Scuba: https://www.howiesscuba.com/dive-sites.php.
