I've done the HMAS swan, and although my kind of diving nearly always involves killing shit, I did find it surprisingly enjoyable.

I did it in my own boat, anchored 100m away (outside the exclusion zone), and swam over to it before diving. I think the local dive charter operators have exclusive rights to it, or at least act like they do.

I think it sits in about 30+m (I went to the bottom, as I heard crays were on the underside of the hull.... they weren't), but most of your diving will be in around 20m.

good to do, but yeah, I wouldn't hurry to do it again.

I did hear of a hubby and wife getting bailed up by a GW there a few years ago. they praised their shark shields as saving their lives!

I reckon you'd be alright though. I can lend you my shark shield if you were concerned.

 Thanks for the info mate, i may take you up on that offer....who to give it to, the misses or myself haha. Deepest ive currently dove to has been 28m so depth should be fine. 

good fun when you get right into it and explore - take good torches theres critters here and there hiding in dark corners

 If anyone would allow  us to borrow their shark shield ill pay $50 each. If damaged will pay up. Dates needed would be Feb 10-12th 

 Mate if you are diving Wednesday to Friday you can borrow mine - no need to pay, just need it myself for the Saturday and Sunday, I'm based in Bunbury.

I live here mate, you can borrow mine & no need to pay

 Your welcome to borrow mine mate

Highly reccomend the HMAS Swan Dive.

Your meant to pay a fee if you want to use the provided moorings above the wreck which have shotlines running down to the deck. Cape Dive used to look after the bookings but i think i heard that the Busso Dive store is now doing it. 

Its 32m to the bottom but you dont need to go that deep. If your up for it enter the wreck and swim through the different levels (3 i think??) plenty of marine life around it. Definately take a torch and try get out there before the charter boats and you can get inside before they stir it up. 

My last dive there i couldnt believe the amount of fishing line, rigs etc snagged up on the mooring lines and shot lines, as well as the wreck itself. Its meant to be a sanctuary zone but last time was way worse than any of my previous dives there. 

As long as there's no big swells running the vis is usually insane!

my cousin is part owner of cape diving go out with them and you can just drop down the shot lines it is a good dive probably 1 of the best in the sw
