What's NEW  in Store

Perth Diving Academy (PDA) is Western Australia's premier scuba diving organisation. With over 25 years of experience and a wealth of knowledge to draw on, PDA is the place you want to complete your diver training. PDA was first established in 1978 primarily to teach scuba diving. This fun and exciting activity proved to be one of the worlds fastest growing sports and the shop developed rapidly into Australia's largest dive store.

The emphasis at PDA has always been towards quality of instruction and service and in order to achieve these goals the company has built the most modern and complete training facilities in Australia. PDA offers a choice of three training outlets, Balcatta, Fremantle and Hillarys. All facilities have indoor heated pools and classrooms for diver instruction. Full retail sales and service is available for most brands of equipment. 
The Balcatta store has the largest range of equipment and a full-time service bay that caters to the servicing of Equipment from all over Perth. The retail sale area is one of the busiest in Australia, hence the large range. 
The Fremantle store has its own jetty immediately adjacent to the training facility. This jetty provides access to the PDA vessels as well providing an all-weather diver training area with a diver training wreck at 8 metres. 
The Hillary Store is located on the northern side of the Hillarys Marina Complex alongside The Western Australian Fisheries and Marine Research Laboratories. The close proximity to the Beach and Boat launching facilities make PDA Hillarys a popular location for divers, swimmers and other water sport enthusiasts.

PDA owns and operates the surveyed dive charter vessel, 'Lionfish IV', a 24 metre purpose built boat, This vessel runs a variety of dive sites based around Rottnest Island as well as providing an excellent venue for social river cruises along the Swan River.

Through our association with Diving Adventures and on our own we organise dive travel to many overseas and local destinations working hand in hand with the local operators.

The result of over 25 years of development is Australia's most advanced diver training establishments offering a complete range of courses from entry level to instructor as well as dive travel and retail sales.

PDA, with partners, operates a commercial diving school known as The Underwater Centre - Fremantle (TUC-F). This centre conducts training and certification for divers who wish to work in the commercial and occupational dive field.
