This experience is for certified divers who have dived within the last 12 months. Board the vessel Linni at 8 AM (7 AM in summer). After gear check and a boat briefing, we’ll cruise to a dive site around Rottnest Island. Water, coffee, tea, and snacks will be provided. At 9:30 AM, your first dive begins, guided by a Divemaster in the island's beautiful waters. The limestone formations offer caves and swim-throughs, making for a great dive. Dives last 45-60 minutes.

With only 12 divers on board, we tailor the experience to create ideal buddy teams. After the second dive, dry off and enjoy a hot lunch (please inform us of dietary requirements).

DIVING THROUGH THE REEF

I had a great experience diving with Bucket List, they made me feel safe and welcome on my own, paired me up with a buddy and also provided a dive master tour guide to show us around. I love the reef here, you can swim through coral holes and really feel part of the ocean. Would recommend
Great Satisfaction

Excellent operation and beautiful dives. I had the privilege of being 20cm from a massive cuttlefish, and we played together making hand signals and flashing colours. There were two female nurse sharks to see, and a cheeky wrasse that swam repeatedly into my mask and played in my bubbles. Lasagne for lunch was a treat. Thanks to the team for a fun day!
An excellent dive operation, the dive sites didn't quite deliver for me.

Whilst on a flying visit to Perth I booked up to do two dives at Rottnest Island with Kate and Antonio. The communication when I was booking my trip was excellent and very easy to make the booking online. All the instructions and kit hire was also easy. Kate and Antonio run a very professional and punctual service. As an experienced diver having been diving for over 25 years and having been on many dive boats, I can say that Bucket List Divers run a great operation. The kit I hired was all in great condition and obviously taken care of. There were safety briefings before we left the jetty in Fremantle and then thorough dive briefings before each of our two dives when at Rottnest. Antonio also checked everyone was back on the boat at the end of the dive and I saw Kate (who was our dive guide on both dives) checking on the divers under her care numerous times during the dives. So in short for safety and professionalism these guys are as good as you would get. The boat was fine and even though relatively small it never felt cramped or crowded, even though the trip was fully booked. There is a shower and toilet on the boat and water, hot drinks and a hot lunch were included in the trip. With hired scuba gear the two dive trip cost AUD295 all in (GB£152). As for the diving itself we did 'Crystal Palace' for our first dive and the 'Miwok Barge' for our second dive. The water temperature was 23-24'C on both dives and visibility was around 12m. On the first dive there was quite a severe surge underwater which did make for less than perfect diving conditions and certainly took the edge off the dive for me. There was quite a bit of fish-life but still not as much as I had expected. The second dive site in my opinion was very poor. Whilst the surge was less there were very few fish and we just seemed to go back and forth over the same area of seaweed covered sandy seabed at 11m. The barge wreck was basically non-existent and we ended the dive at 50 minutes and I came back to the boat with 130 Bar left. Whilst Kate and Antonio obviously can't change sea conditions, or the amount or type of life seen on a dive, they do make the call on which dive site to visit and I think this site was a poor choice. I did not feel the second dive was good value, it felt like we were just ticking the box of doing a second dive. All in all I am glad I dived at Rottnest even though the dives did not live up to the expectations I had having done plenty of research before I booked the trip. I am also glad I went with Bucket List Divers as they were excellent. The only reason I have not given a 5/5 rating is because of my honest comments about the choice of dive site for the second dive, and the fact it felt like we were just going through the motions on that dive. We left the jetty at 7am and returned at 1:30pm.
Excellent diving with a friendly and experienced team

The team were experienced, friendly, professional and went out of their way to make sure that you were personally comfortable with what was happening at all times. The diving was great and adjusted to the weather conditions. The boat was well maintained and the hire equipment clean, in good condition and worked perfectly. Highly recommend this company for a great diving experience

Third trip with BLD - excellent crew (thank YOU!) - bring a torch cos lots to see in holes/devices - second dive was North Break Point... very cool - lots of fish, notably trigger fish and smaller dew fish - big smooth ray rose up and glided about close by at the end of the dive.
Brilliant dive

We were blessed with good weather and visibility during our trip out to Rottnest. The crew were hospitable and Antoni offered a rashie for my husband and myself when he learnt we were more accustomed to diving in tropical waters. Lots of marine life underwater and we spotted a wobbergong shark, crayfishes and a huge pod of dolphins where our boat anchored. Hot food for lunch was a bonus, and vegetarian options were available. This is probably the only tour operator in Perth with full service on board. Most have a shop front requiring you to collect your gear the day before and lug it to the boat. So I guess having a one-stop experience is great if you're tourist. I did find that space was quite tight on the boat, possibly because there were 11 divers and 3 crew, and not 8 divers as advertised. Otherwise, the whole experience was great and I'd love to dive with them again.
