HMAS Ovens Submarine Guide - WA Maritime Museum
Submarine Guides are a specific group of Front of House volunteers who present tours of the Museum's Oberon class Submarine, HMAS Ovens, to visitors of the WA Maritime Museum, Fremantle. Submarine Guides facilitate hour-long tours of the HMAS Ovens and as such are required to complete training to demonstrate an in-depth knowledge of the Submarine before commencing.
