5.00Thank you for this incredible experience! I would recommend instructor Claire to anyone wanting to learn how to dive, she provided such a safe space for fears and helped me tap into courage with her presence and guidance, I am not convinced I would have been able to trust and surrender the way I did without her. Highest recommendations from me! It is a truly magical experience once you can relax and enjoy flying through the water and the amazing new world you have access to now...have the best encounters and magical experiences life has to offer :)
Fun and never forget!

Also thank you to Kate and Antoni for starting the company! Without both of them, my diving journey and underwater experience will never be the same! I will be back!

5.00WOW!!!! What an amazing experience. We started off by completing our online exams at home, Bucket List Diver regularly checkin to see how we were going and also kept us updated on the practical section of the dive. After the Exam we completed out first pool day session with Hayley. Hayley was one of the loveliest teachers I have ever had in my life, she answered all questions well, made us feel safe, she had an extremely calming nature and anything we were concerned about she slowly helped us through. The next day was doing our first shore dive at Ammo Jetty again with Hayley. Once again she was patient, explained everything really well and made us feel safe the whole time. The last day we had Billie and Anton as Skipper, we were briefed really well and as always felt safe art every step of the way, the last day was a boat dive and Billie took us to some amazing places. We passed with flying colours and now feel confident to dive anywhere. Thanks so much to the whole team at Bucket List Diver. You should be really proud of your team, and I would recommend everyone who is looking to get the dive licence to do it with BLD.

5.00I've done my advanced & rescue training with Kate & Antoni. I highly recommend them, they listen to you, have patience, take their time so you learn & understand. Also been on their trips to Rotto, each time has been a new experience.
Great experience doing the open water course!

5.00I did the 3 day PADI open water course with bucket list diver. Honestly it was such a fabulous experience. The smaller class sizes were excellent and made me feel more confident in my skills. All in all we did one pool day and 4 dives: 2 from shore at Ammo Jetty and 2 from their boat off Rottnest. Kate and Antony runs a fantastic little business and I can't wait to join some of the regular dives and the women's dive meet up. Alex was my instructor and would recommend him!

5.00I competed my advanced open water certification with Bucketlist Divers and the experience was second to none. Calm & caring staff who know what they're doing. Beautiful boat with a very competent and knowledgeable skipper to show you the best spots at Rotto depending on conditions with hot shower on board to boot. I'll be calling these guys first for my next Perth dive experience.
