25.01.2022 Another sunrise viewed from underwater This time off the boat! What an experience - we had a few people doing their first sunrise dives and first boat dives, and we had an absolute blast! Plenty of fish, nudibranchs and crays out and about Check out the highlights and all the friendly faces here! Big thanks to Luke at Image Dive and Charters for another awesome trip out!

24.01.2022 We have 5 keen divers plus a dog on our Monthly Night dive tonight... Iits a much nicer night than the forecast predicted! Bring on the hot soup & post-dive chit chat

24.01.2022 A little bit of rain doesn’t scare us away! Instructors Joe and Matt are teaching an awesome group of new divers at the wreck trail! Our Sunday morning divers have just set off for a shore dive at the Bulk Jetty! The team at Dolphin HQ are firing up the bbq and getting ready for an Enriched Air Nitrox course this afternoon! YAY WE LOVE SUNDAYS - RAIN, HAIL OR SHINE!

23.01.2022 25 Sunday Shore Divers, 6 new Open Water Divers, 40 sausages bbqed, gear galore out the door and a bazillion air fills. What a Sunday! Special thanks to Ella the Poodle for helping the team today, we couldn’t have done it with you!

23.01.2022 Critter of the Month OCTOPUS! Given yesterday was World Octopus Day, it seems only fitting this highly intelligent cephalopod features as our Critter of the Month! Occies have a sac-like body with 8 arms covered by suckers. These suckers are used to grip and also to taste. If they lose an arm to a predator, they are called a Septopus (this isn’t a scientific fact I just made that up).... They are nocturnal, spending their days hidden away in lairs and coming out at night to hunt. Occies have powerful jaws: a beak which can bite through shells they love eating crabs! You can always spot an occie lair from the pile of discarded shells sitting at the entrance. Occies are capable of squirting black ink from their bums when threatened. This black ink forms a phantom shape about the same size of the escaping animal. They move through the water by jet propulsion. They do this by ejecting water through a funnel-shaped siphon. They are masters of camouflage, with the ability to change colours to blend in with their surroundings. They also use these colour changes to communicate and to attract mates. The most common octopus we see in Perth waters is the Gloomy Octopus. They can be very inquisitive, and are known to feel divers’ gloves, and for trying to steal cameras! We do occasionally see Southern White Spot occies. They are a sand octopus (they hide under the sand during the day). They are more orange in colour, with long, thin arms covered in white spots. And of course, we have the Blue Ringed Octopus which is so awesome it deserves its own Critter of the Month segment! You can see occies at all our dive spots along the Perth coastline they are extremely common!

We hope everyone is keeping warm and happy on this not so sunny Sunday!

08.01.2022 Our first full day on Christmas Island has been AMAZING! We had 2 incredible wall dives this morning - the corals and fish life is spectacular, plus we had a manta ray visiting some of our group This afternoon some of our group did another dive, some went exploring, and others had a nanna nap. Tonight were planning to go to the outdoor cinema to watch Nemo whilst eating Chinese Takeaway food & drinking a beer or 2... Island life is tough!

07.01.2022 We were hoping to dive Sue's Groyne tomorrow night, but Instructor Joe (kindly) did a recci of the site today & discovered the beach entry point is closed So we're hitting up Bulk Jetty instead. Don't let today's weather deter you - the conditions look quite good for it! (YAY! ) Meeting time is 6.30pm - please let us know if you're coming so we can make sure we have enough soup & cookies for you!

07.01.2022 Callum & the guys had a stunning day out at Rottnest today Congratulations to Richard Chapman on becoming a Poseidon Se7en CCR Diver Great work Richard!

And welcome back to the water Kyle! We hope to see you guys out in the big blue one of these days again soon!

06.01.2022 Some of the wonderful Clubs & Organisations we have here today

06.01.2022 How lucky are we to have this wonderland of a dive site just up the road! The Key Biscayne is an oil rig that sank in 42 metres of water off the coast of Lancelin, here in WA. Callum and the crew had spectacular conditions underwater last weekend - what a sensational dive! Have a look at these highlights... we would love to see someone try and count all the fish Another huge congratulations to Chris for completing his TDI Helitrox CCR (Rebreather) training, and huge thank you to Luke and the Image Dive and Charters crew for another awesome day out

06.01.2022 What a year it was! As we come into 2021 we want to thank all of our shore divers that joined us every sunday - whether it was RAIN HAIL OR SHINE We love seeing everyone week after week - meeting new dive buddies seeing new creatures underwater as well as becoming more confident and comfortable! You are the reason we love Sundays! Here is a short clip of the last shore dive of 2020 Happy New Year to you all, we cannot wait for what's to come

06.01.2022 BLACK FRIDAY TORCH SALE! Don't get caught in the dark! We’ve teamed up with Aqualumo to bring you a great deal on our favourite Divepro torches. Sale runs from now through to close of business Friday!

06.01.2022 Batman gets jj-ccr Helitrox rating.

05.01.2022 Our Critter of the Month this month is definitely on the larger side: its the DWARF MINKE WHALE! We are so lucky to have these beautiful creatures hanging around at the moment Dwarf Minkes have a narrow, pointed snout making them look a bit like torpedos. Their colour patterns are very complex, with bands of white, grey and black. Scientists still have a lot to learn about Dwarf Minke Whales. What they do know is:... They are smallest of the baleen whale family, growing to 7-9m long (the females are slightly bigger than the males); They weigh between 5-7 tonnes Their lifespan is unknown It is believed they birth one calf a year (but this is also unknown) There is not enough information to plot migration patterns for Dwarf Minke Whales but what we do know is: we see them in Perth waters end-July/early August every year. Being highly inquisitive creatures, they have been checking us out regularly on our safety stops, and have been approaching the boat. If you want to see one now is the time! Were hoping to head out on the boat this week (weather permitting - watch out on Facebook for more information) Fingers crossed they stick around for another week!

04.01.2022 We're heading to Port Beach for our Sunrise Dive on Wednesday (map in the comments)... can't wait to see you all there!

04.01.2022 This is SUPER spooky! But I guess beggars cant be choosers

They're at Jerrat Drive enjoying a dive, while our Open Water students are finishing day 2 of their course at Bicton Baths While this is going on, Becs and Mel are cranking up the barbie and getting ready for an Enriched Air Course this afternoon... how AWESOME is it that the sun is shining today?! WE LOVE SUNDAYS!!!!

04.01.2022 Look at all the adventures that Callum and the Radiant Rebreather boyz have been having over the past month! With a special appearance from batman himself, and fun zoom zooms on the scooters this video is not to be missed!

04.01.2022 We hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas & New Year! We are back to our normal opening hours as seen here. Can't wait to see you all in and out of the water soon

03.01.2022 SUNDAY FUNDAY!!!

03.01.2022 A little taster of the bargains we've got in store for tomorrow... we can't wait to see you all for the Open Day!!!

03.01.2022 It might have been a bit of a surgy dive last night - but that didn't matter to those who saw the TURTLE (yes! a turtle!! Photos are on their way), and the massive Port Jackson Shark! Plus the sneaky pub meal and beer afterwards was the best way to finish off a lovely evening... BIG thanks Image Dive and Charters, and to everyone who came along!

02.01.2022 Over 6,900 kms travelled , 932 minutes spent underwater , approximately 761 litres of beers consumed , precisely 782,461 crabs spotted , and 1 spectacular manta ray appearance !
