CharacterReef dive

StandoutRich in charismatic marine life

Pearl Ledge in the Coral Sea is a solid reef dive, pretty typical of the area. You'll find good coral formations here, plenty of table corals and bommies. While it doesn't boast any particular "big ticket" species, there's always a good chance of reef sharks cruising by and the usual schooling reef fish. It's a dependable site for divers looking for a classic Coral Sea experience, without being overly challenging.
