The former HMAS Perth guided missile destroyer was scuttled in 35m of water in King George Sound in November 2001.
Serving in the Royal Australian Navy, the HMAS Perth sailed more than a million nautical miles in deployments around the world. The vessel was damaged by enemy fire in the Vietnam conflict. Thankfully no-one was injured as the shell punctured the vessel but failed to explode.
The 133m destroyer now provides divers with a wonderful opportunity to explore its underwater interiors. The ship's mast protrudes 8.5m above the water and is a mounting point for two webcams, one above and one below the waterline.
Divers can check the webcams from dry land to see what conditions are like at the wreck. Many divers arrange times for relatives and friends to view their diving adventures on-line via the webcams.
For more information about the dive wreck, including conditions of use, take a look at the Former HMAS Perth Dive Wreck website.
