The Basin
Protected Area
Rottnest Island
The Basin, off Western Australia’s south coast, offers a straightforward shore dive. You'll find a series of small, rocky ledges and sandy patches here. We often spot octopus tucked away and plenty of Western Australian dhufish swimming through the kelp. It’s a good spot for a relaxed dive, particularly if you’re keen on exploring close to shore.
