How to get there

Near Cocklebiddy, ~10 minutes' drive from Cocklebiddy Cave; manager DBCA (apply 4 weeks ahead, Esperance office). Small undercut entrance with rockfall: in 2012 gear went down 10 m by tripod and divers by ladder or SRT, then ~200 m of passage to the lake (four hours of carrying).

Certification requirements, configurations and trimix depths are estimates for planning. Always check them locally and dive within your training. Compiled from web research (Oct 2026): the Cave Divers Association of Australia (site list, site pages, visitor permit), cavediving.net.au, CDG reports (caves.org.au), Buzzacott & Skrzypek (2021), Divernet, Shearwater (Pannikin, 2023), DBCA, the Shire of Dundas, the Royal Flying Doctor Service, Fiona Stanley and Royal Adelaide hospitals, DAN, SA Parks and the Federal Court (Mirning, 2017). No coordinates are published for any dive cave: no pins, drive times from Cocklebiddy Roadhouse approximate. The certification per cave is an estimate from the CDAA rating; you also need that rating and written permission from the land manager.
