About
Perth Diving Academy Hillarys has been serving Perth's diving community since 2005, combining a full dive shop with a RAID-affiliated dive school. Based on Northside Drive in Hillarys, Western Australia, the team trains divers from complete beginners to advanced levels, runs guided boat dives around Marmion Marine Park, and offers pool hire, equipment hire and gear servicing. Its course ladder follows the RAID system: Open Water 20 (Level 1) for first-time divers, Explorer 30 (Level 2) to build skills over five dives, Master Rescue (Level 3) for divers wanting to look after themselves and others, and Divemaster (Level 4) for those heading professional. Specialty options include a Nitrox Diver course for extending bottom time and managing decompression risk, and a demanding Deep 40 Speciality for confident, experienced divers wanting to push their depth limits. A dedicated Junior Open Water course, capped at four students, brings certification to divers aged 12 to 14. Alongside training, Perth Diving Academy stocks a large range of dive and snorkelling gear online, from wetsuits and fins to BCDs, regulators, dive computers and spearfishing equipment, with sale pricing on selected items. The shop is open seven days a week and accepts online payments via PayPal and credit card.
