Dolphin Dive Fremantle. Got a budding diver in the family? Water babies will get a buzz from this beginner’s experience, which departs Fremantle and heads to the subtropical waters of Rottnest Island. You get to swim through underwater archways flecked with electric-blue fish, inspect limestone caverns, and explore coral rimmed caves. If you're a newbie, opt for a "Discover Scuba" experience, which involves taking one person out with an instructor (A$385) or a maximum of two (ask about the discounted price). Trips are also available experienced divers—call the store for details. 256 Hampton Rd., South Fremantle, Western Australia. 08/9335–9969; www.dolphindiveshop.com. From A$385.
