Dive-in movie night, Perth

Float, watch, dive in

From $280. We'll confirm within 24 hours.

The moment

Watch Jaws from the deep end

There is nothing like a shark movie when you are actually floating in the water. We rig a full cinema screen at the edge of your pool, wash the water in your colours and run cinema sound you feel in your chest. Cue up Jaws or The Deep Blue Sea for the thrill, or Moana, Finding Nemo and The Little Mermaid for the kids. Guests watch from floaties, the deck or the deep end, and you get to be in the pool with them while we run the tech.

Can you guess which one is AI? 😉

Drag the slider, imagine what it could be like once the sun goes down.

Cinema-grade PA and subwoofer so the sound carries across the water and the backyard
Custom on-screen intro card (Welcome to the Smith Family Dive-In) before the feature
