- Western Australia - Tourist Information
PDA Balcatta is on a
major road (Wanneroo) in a residential area and has a Transperth
bus stop right
out the front (Bus: 347, 346, 374,347or 373 from Perth). The
facility is a major retail and training centre that also specializes
in equipment service to most diving and associated equipment. Balcatta
has its own indoor pool and one of the the largest diving showrooms
and stock holdings in Australia. This facility uses the boats at
Hillarys and Fremantle.
PDA Fremantle is in an Industrial area and has no public transport
routes access . The Fremantle facility is in a commercial harbour with
it's own jetty where "Lionfish IV' is berthed. The facility has
full retail, rental and training as well as an indoor pool and direct
ocean access. The closest train station is North Fremantle but we are
about 4 km from the station through areas without footpaths. The best
option if you have no transport is to train to Fremantle where it will
be easier to find a taxi. For Public Transport

charter vessel.
