Why dive here
Black Ledge is a reef dive where divers can encounter humpback whales and tiger sharks. Water ranges 21-29°C, warmest January, February, March.
Black Ledge on Ningaloo offers a gentle drift along a healthy reef wall, often with excellent visibility. You'll likely spot white-tip reef sharks cruising the deeper sections and plenty of smaller reef fish darting between the plate corals. It’s a good choice for those looking for a relaxed dive with consistent reef structure, suitable for most experience levels. We often see green turtles here too.
