Overview

You will visit a variety of sites suitable for diving & snorkelling rarely visited by other people. Reef sharks, turtles, groupers and sting rays are a common sight, along with all of the macro critters, such as nudibranchs, moray eels and octopus.
Manta Rays are commonly found feeding in shallow waters close to Coral Bay. Dugongs can also be seen on occasions & inquisitive dolphins can be seen chasing fish through the clear water.
Humpback Whales (in season) are a common site on the outer reef as they make their way north on their annual migration & return south with their calves for the summer.
