The
Underwater Centre Fremantle launched “DSV
Defiant” on 12 February 2003. Although purchased as a diving
support vessel (DSV), the boat has a multi-purpose layout that would
allow other uses such as Swan Valley river cruises, scientific survey
work and as a recreational dive charter boat.  DSV

| Swan
Valley Ice Drinks Food BBQ |
All Swan Valley River charters
are a Perth City departure (embarkation near the Causeway). If you wish
to have pick-ups from any other point this will need to be with prior
arrangement only. You must allow at least 2 hours to cruise from Perth City to Middle Swan Bridge and a further 2 hours to return (River speed between 5 and 8 knots). Docking and leaving a jetty or beach requires a minimum of 15 minutes each way. You can design your own special cruise, with stops at popular tourist destinations along the Swan River! TUCF staff would be happy to assist. Ice is available in 20kg bags @ $9.90 per bag or 3 kg bags @ $3.00 (for an average charter allow 2 x 20kg bags). DSV Defiant is not licensed to sell alcohol. This means we operate on a BYO policy. Function organisers can arrange sale or return orders from several local liquor stores. Ice Boxes are available at no charge but repair costs are deducted from your deposit in the case of damage. You are welcome to supply your own food. A BBQ is available for hire at $100.00 per day. |
