With over 35 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 two training outlets, Balcatta and Hillarys. Both facilities have indoor heated pools and classrooms for diver instruction.

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 training zone is based around the jetty that provides access to the PDA vessels as well providing an all-weather diver training area with a diver training wreck at 8 metres. Fremantle offers sales facilities along with being the boat departure point for our diving and evening river cruises. Open water courses from many local instructors use the Fremantle facility to complete the shore and pool sessions prior to going out to Rottnest on our boat to complete their open water training. The Hillarys 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 from Fremantle to a variety of dive sites based around Rottnest Island as well as providing an excellent venue for social river cruises along the Swan River.
