Ningaloo on Western Australia's Coral Coast

Western Australia’s ‘Coral Coast’ is truly one of the greatest underwater playgrounds on the planet and home to the West’s beloved Ningaloo Reef. This World Heritage-listed reef stretches over 260 kilometres and hosts an array of marine life, including the world’s largest fish – the whale shark. The Navy Pier is known as one of Australia’s best shore dives and it’s a must-do while you’re visiting the Ningaloo coast. Located on private land and generally off-limits, security checks are a routine operation for this once U.S-operated pier. Only one dive operator now runs dives to this unique site. With a max depth of 18 metres, you’ll be surrounded by huge structural pylons that are home to an abundance of marine life. Thick schools of jacks and rays are commonly found overhead whilst below octopus, sea snakes, and even the occasional grey nurse shark are local residents of this famous dive site.
