CharacterReef dive

StandoutRich in charismatic marine life

Corroboree Reef, out in the Coral Sea, offers a classic Australian outer-reef dive. We’ve found it’s best for experienced divers comfortable with potential currents and deeper profiles. Look for pelagic species cruising the reef edge, along with schooling fish and the usual suspects like reef sharks. It's a proper Coral Sea adventure, often part of a liveaboard itinerary.
