dive charter
i di it a few years back , great dive ,i think there are two charter companies in town that take you out for 2 x dives on the wreck , best done with a advanced ticket if you want to go along the bottom of the hull

Dived it more times than i can remember, haven't done it through a charter for a few years but back then diveshed were the company recomended to go through out of the two. capedive are in dunsborough and a shorter trip but never went out through them, diveshed leave from port geograph marina. Great dive to explore, last bloke i spoke to that dived it didn see a white but had 30m vis, a visit from a humpback... and a penguin... dunno how narced he was for that though.

Go with Cape Dive from
Go with Cape Dive from Dunsborough. Gav will look after you.
Can dive it from your own boat but need to get a day pass.
The busso jetty used to be another great dive. Better than the swan IMO. Don't know what its like after the jetty reno.
Has anyone dived it lately? Is there any coral left?

I think you may be required
I think you may be required to leave someone on the boat as well? Also, I think the moorings only allow for 2 hrs or something similar, so that means if you have three on the boat and want to do a rotation double dive you wont get a lot of time unless you have practically no surface interval....
Dont know how policed that is though?

Ahh it's always empty Matt,
Ahh it's always empty Matt, you would have to be hard pressed for this to be an issue however with the weather warming traffic will increase but the latest Whitey will keep punters at bay I would think.

Cheers for the info I will
Cheers for the info I will give them a call, not to fussed about the price would just like a good
day out there and hopefully the weather and vis will be good, I have waited a few years to do this dive and
to be honest it is part of the reason for the trip down.
