Operated by Swan Dive · Quindalup, Western Australia
Located along the sun-drenched coastline of Western Australia, Swan Dive offers a standout specialty course for divers eager to extend bottom times and enhance safety underwater: the Computer Nitrox Diver course. Held near the picturesque town of Busselton and specifically in Quindalup on the Geographe Bay, this experience is anchored around the iconic HMAS Swan wreck—a shipwreck considered one of the premier dive sites worldwide. Divers learn the ins and outs of Enriched Air Nitrox, using oxygen blends up to 40%, unlocking longer dives and shorter surface intervals with expert guidance.
The course offers flexibility for varying diving ambitions. Enthusiasts can opt for a purely theoretical one-hour e-learning and practical tank analysis session, designed to equip them with essential dive planning, physics, and physiology knowledge related to Nitrox. For those craving action, adding a double-dive day at the HMAS Swan wreck immerses students in an underwater landscape rich with marine biodiversity and history. The wreck itself, resting in shallow, clear waters, highlights weathered steel and encrusted coral, drawing in curious sea life including leafy seadragons and pelagic fish.
Swan Dive's instructors are seasoned local professionals, combining rigorous safety protocols with hands-on teaching that ensures divers gain confidence managing enriched air while navigating the complexity of wreck penetration and buoyancy control. The location offers sheltered waters, and the Quindalup boat ramp serves as the launch point for dive charters heading out to the HMAS Swan.
This course is particularly valuable for divers certified in Open Water who want to enhance their capabilities and explore underwater wreckage safely. Beyond the Nitrox training, Swan Dive anchors their presence in the community by educating divers on sustainability practices that protect Western Australia's unique marine ecosystems. Whether you're aiming for your first Nitrox dive or sharpening your dive skills against the stunning backdrop of one of the world’s best shipwrecks, Swan Dive delivers an immersive, educational, and exhilarating dive experience.
