HMAS Swan Dive Wreck
Highlights
- Explore the 113-metre HMAS Swan Dive Wreck, a stunning underwater marvel teeming with marine life.
- Witness schools of bull's eye fish and King George whiting thriving in the wreck's unique structure.
- Embark on a 15-minute boat ride from Meelup Beach to experience one of Australia’s top dive sites.
- Dive into history at Dunsborough, home to one of the largest accessible dive wrecks in the Southern Hemisphere.
Dunsborough is home to one of the largest accessible dive wrecks in the Southern Hemisphere, the former HMAS Swan.
The 113-metre-long decommissioned naval destroyer was scuttled in Geographe Bay off Dunsborough in 1997 and since then has become one of the most popular dive wreck sites in Australia.
Sitting in 35 metres of water and with a slight list, HMAS Swan Dive Wreck is truly a spectacular site. All kinds of fish and marine animals have made the wreck their home. See schools of bull’s eye fish in many of the ship’s rooms, while King George whiting and brim swim around the hull. Samson fish, blue devil and sweep are also commonly seen.
HMAS Swan Dive Wreck is about a 15-minute boat ride out to sea from Meelup Beach. A number of commercial operators offer dive tours to the Swan Dive Wreck. You can also dive the Swan from a private boat by obtaining an access permit from the Dunsborough Visitor Centre.
Dunsborough is about a three-hour drive south of Perth.
