Since we have been having so much fun diving in Perth, at Rottnest and ‘Down South’, I decided to sneek in an Advanced Diver Course with Australasian Diving Academy before we return to Croatia.

ADA is a SCUBA Schools International (SSI) school.

We covered wreck diving, night and limited visibility diving, boat diving and underwater navigation.

On Tuesday night we finished the course with our night dive. In the Swan River, which typically has a relatively poor visibility, a night dive means you can only see a metre in front of you – maximum. Still, this was enough to allow me to grab six good size crabs for lunch the next day, whilst still completing the course work. The other students weren’t left out – they brought nets down to catch prawns!
