Big Dive Adventures Coming in 2026!

Pack your mask and start saving your leave — 2026 is shaping up to be an epic year of bubbles and adventures with UECWA!

We’ve already locked in Christmas Island in August (think walls, whale sharks, and warm water dreams) and Palau, Micronesia in November — because why stop at one tropical paradise when you can have two?

There’s also a mystery trip to Indonesia bubbling away in the early part of the year… details to come once we can stop arguing over which incredible spot to choose!

Keep your eyes peeled — booking details will surface soon, and trust us, these trips will fill faster than a nitrox tank on a Sunday morning.

Cape Cruiser Returns to

Mandurah in December 2025

We’re heading back to Mandurah for another festive season of underwater adventures and Christmas sparkle!

From Friday, December 12th to Monday, December 15th, join us aboard Cape Cruiser for double dive days exploring Mandurah’s best sites, followed by evening canal cruises to soak up all the beautiful Christmas light displays. The canal cruises in the evening are family-friendly events, so bring the kids, the tinsel, and your best bad Christmas jokes!

Santa hats optional – dive gear essential.
Spots fill fast every year, so book early and don’t miss out on this highlight of the holiday season! Events are on the calendar now. 

Club Person of the Year 2025

Nominations Now Open

We’re calling for nominations for Club Person of the Year – the member who’s gone above and beyond to make our club a better place. Maybe they’re always lending a hand on dive days, helping new members, or just bringing great energy to every event.

If someone comes to mind, we’d love to hear from you! Please send your nomination (and a short note on why they deserve it) to pr@uecwa.com.au by November 30th.

Let’s celebrate the people who make our club such an awesome community – both above and below the surface!
