Information for Divers

Our dive sites are beautiful coral reef dives that have a varied depth of 4m to 12m with our average depth being at 6-8m. As the Ningaloo Reef is a fringing reef, it is quite shallow all around but filled with spectacular coral structures and marine life. All of our dives are guided dives with maximum group sizes of 8, although we typically have smaller groups.

Our dives are 45-50 minutes long and the average visibility in Coral Bay is 10-15m but can vary depending on conditions. The water temperature varies from 20C up to 26C in the summer and we provide full length 5mm wetsuits for all divers.
