At Perth Scuba you can now discover something so different and magical, that you will never see marine creatures the same way again. Taking you back to premier ocean discovery, we call it "FLUORO-Diving.
Not to be confused with phosphorescence, or bio-luminescence, Fluorescence is the absorption of one wavelength of light (or colour) and the re-emission of another, totally different wavelength of light (or colour). A fluorescent object under white light reveals its true colour. But under near UV light, it absorbs the blue and re-emits a fluorescent colour, transforming the blue into a brightly glowing, totally different colour.
When you book a Discover Fluoro Diving experience one of the Perth Scuba crew will join you on a night dive in local Perth waters. We'll bring the torch and mask filter so you can see the different colours that the coral and some critters emit and which we can see only at night.
Thus, underwater, marine animals that fluoresce have the ability to convert one colour into an entirely different colour!
The true reason for fluorescence in corals remains unclear today, but the reason for fluorescence in more complex creatures is completely obscure. The subject of fluorescence extends all boundaries in understanding and even now remains as controversial in the science community as it is fascinating.

So few people have experienced this amazing form of diving! Be one of the few and see an astounding array of colours and marine life that you never knew existing.
As part of your dive experience, Perth Scuba includes the hire of your dive torch and mask filter so you can see this amazing underwater light show.
Perth Scuba Discover Fluoro Diving experience includes: Hire of Blue Light Torch Hire of Yellow Mask Filter (one size fits all) Divemaster Dive Guide
You must be an Advanced Open Water Diver or above to join this evening. However, if you are an Open Water Diver please add our "Instructor Dive Guide" to your booking and we'll provide an experienced PADI Instructor to guide you through your first night dive combined with your fluoro dive! Plus, we'll even sign your log book so you already have a dive towards your PADI Advanced Open Water Course

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to breathe underwater. If you want to find out but aren’t quite ready to take the plunge into a full dive certification course, our PADI Discover Scuba Diving Program will let you try scuba to see if you like the experience before committing to a full Open Water Course. Perth Scuba offer the Discover Scuba program in a range of options, choose from trying scuba diving in a swimming pool, Perth ocean shore dive or even at Rottnest Island!
During the Discover Scuba Diving experience you’ll learn how to use scuba equipment in shallow water and get a quick and easy introduction to what it takes to explore the underwater world. After your Discover Scuba experience you can book onto our next PADI Open Water Diver Course and get your full PADI certification in as little as 3 days! The Fun Part
There is nothing like breathing underwater for the very first time. It takes a little getting used to – after all, human beings weren’t designed to do that – but after a few minutes of awestruck wonder, you realise how easy scuba diving really is and what fun you can experience. The biggest challenge Perth Scuba have with the Discover Scuba Diving program is not coaxing participants into the water, but coaxing them out when the program is over. The fun part? It’s all fun! If your Discover Scuba Diving program includes an actual scuba dive in open water, your experience may count toward PADI Scuba Diver or Open Water Diver certification, putting you a step ahead of the game when you decide to go for it. What You Learn
You learn the basics you need to dive under the supervision of our friendly and experienced PADI Professional Instructors. One thing you’ll learn is that you really can breathe underwater and whether you like doing that or not, and whether you want to experience more.
