Fish Rock is an amazing dive that a lot of other contributors have written about so I'm going to concentrate my review on the company itself. We had six dives with them over 3 days. This is a very professionally run dive operation with some excellent friendly staff. They have 4 boats that they can call upon, all well set... More

Fantastic Dive and great staff. Even though the weather was a bit ordinary the dive was amazing. Visibility was great and the amount of sharks on the first dive was incredible to see. The cave was even better with crays, wobbegongs and turtles everywhere. Troy and Steve were great and made the whole day a great experience !! I will... More

The whole process was efficient and effective. Booked through email. Loaded up and out through the bar (which was calm on this day). Dived down to the gullies. Spent 20 minutes at 30 meters (on Nitrox) surrounded by Nurse Sharks. About 15 of them. Second dive was a swim through the cave. Wobbegongs, turtles and lobsters. This is an amazing... More

Fish Rock as a dive site is excellent. I loved watching the Grey Nurse sharks 'patrolling' the canyon and was lucky enough to see 10 huge Eagle Rays by the shallow end of the cave. The visibility was excellent and the water warm. South West Rocks dive center is excellent - large, modern and with great staff. I did not... More

I dive several times per year at Fish Rock and always use SWR Dive Centre. The staff are friendly, flexible and always keep a sense of humour no matter what. Boats are loaded quickly and efficiently, tanks are filled and gear allocated accurately. The dive guiding once underwater is second to none - you only have to name your interest,... More

I could see 13 Grey Nurse sharks in front of me with a similar number above, below and behind me, a wonderful experience. The cave dive was great too, i have done cave diving in the carribean, mediterainian and the UK. However... More

I have dived at a number of dive shops over the years and the crew at South West Rocks would have to be one of the best. Getting ready and geared up was easy and they gave good advice on what the conditions would be like. Very helpful on the dive and the divemasters were excellent. One of the most... More

We were unlucky when we visited South West Rocks Dive Centre because the visibility at Fish Rock was so poor. But credit to the dive team at SWRDC, they did not write off the day but took us out to check the conditions on both days. We chose to do a dive and had excellent guiding from Cassie and Warren....
