Dive Section

The Hillarys Yacht Club Dive Section is comprised of families and individuals who share a love for water based activities and the conservation of our marine environment. Dive excursions are mostly conducted on Saturdays and on some Sundays. All dives are weather dependent.

The Club boat, Balaton Jack, boasts enough deck space to accommodate comfortably up to 20 divers for either single or double tank dives. Local dives incorporate sites ranging from Mindarie in the north, to Garden Island in the south and across to Rottnest Island. Annual country visits include trips to Mandurah, Dunsborough and Coral Bay. Overseas holidays to Manado, The Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Bali and more recently Sipidan have also proven greatly successful. The bi-monthly calendar, which includes both social and diving activities, caters for all age groups and experience levels. New ideas are always welcome, too. The group organised the Perth Dive Olympics in October 2016, a fun competition featuring some unusual and hilarious tasks against the clock. The success of this inaugural competition suggests that it may become an annual event. As part of the section’s ongoing commitment to improve skills and awareness members are offered the chance to participate in certified courses through access to private Dive Instructors. The group is highly sociable and likes to take advantage of the great Club facilities by meeting regularly for a casual drink. You will enjoy your experience when you dive with the Hillarys Yacht Club team.
