Rockingham
Local shore diving, wrecks and sheltered sites south of Perth.
Rockingham supports local diving and provides access to sites south of Perth, including sheltered shore entries and offshore wrecks.
Shoalwater Islands Marine Park sits immediately offshore and offers sheltered diving with sea lions in the area, along with limestone reef terrain similar to Rottnest but closer to the mainland.
For Perth divers, Rockingham functions as a convenient alternative when the northern metropolitan coast is blown out.
