Net Reef
Why dive here
With 113+ marine species recorded in the area - including dugongs, grey reef sharks, humpback whales, sea turtles and tiger sharks - Net Reef offers some of Coral Sea's richest reef diving. Water ranges 25-30°C, warmest January, February, March.
Net Reef, out in the Coral Sea, is a solid choice for a multi-day liveaboard. We've often found ourselves drifting along its outer walls, keeping an eye out for larger pelagics moving through the blue. It’s a classic Coral Sea dive, best suited for experienced divers comfortable with deeper profiles and potential currents. Expect good visibility and that feeling of being far, far away from anything else.
