The Swan Ship Wreck- 'One of the World's best Wreck Dives'

Located a little over 200km south of Perth at Dunsborough, the swan shipwreck is an incredible dive. Sunk purposely in 1997 for divers the wreck lies upright in 32 meters of water, she is 113 meters long and over 30 meters wide. The average visibility we receive in this area is 18 - 25 meters. In the short time the Swan has been down, she has already become home to many different species of fish, this a dive not to be missed while you are visiting Western Australia. Dive run daily (subject to weather conditions) all months bar June, July & August.

SWAN DIVE WRECK INFORMATION

Best Diving months are February, March, April and early May
when the visibility can get as high as 30 meters. 

Our season is from 1st September to the 31st May yearly.

It took hundreds of volunteers nearly 12 months and more than 10,000 hours of hard labor to prepare the former Destroyer Escort HMAS Swan for scuttling as a dive wreck and artificial reef near Dunsborough in Western Australia.

With everything going to plan she was sunk in an upright position some 1.3 nautical miles off Point Piquet (Meelup Beach) near Dunsborough - only a 15 minute boat ride in protected waters. The tower sits in 6 meters of water, while the bottom at 31 meters. The Swan Dive Wreck has a minor list to her left side making it a classic and interesting ship wreck. Only 24 hours after the sinking, fish life were present. The wreck now has an abundance of marine life and is rapidly establishing itself as a bountiful artificial reef.

The project was by far the biggest of its type ever undertaken in Australia. Had it not been for the support of Government's at all levels from Commonwealth, to State and the Shire of Busselton, local business sponsors (of which Bay Village Resort - Dunsborough is proud to be one of), the diving community of Australia would not have such a fine dive site. Since she was scuttled thousands of people from all over Australia and the world have dived her. Already she is establishing herself as an extremely successful artificial reef and dive site of world renown. Anyone that has dived the Swan can honestly say it's mind blowing and diving at it's very best, rated in the top ten wreck sites in the world.
