Why dive here
Lighthouse Bay is a reef dive where divers can encounter humpback whales and tiger sharks. Water ranges 21-29°C, warmest January, February, March.
Lighthouse Bay offers a gentle introduction to Ningaloo, with a gradual slope that’s easy to navigate. We often spot green turtles grazing on the seagrass beds, and the occasional reef shark cruises by. It’s a good choice for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed dive, especially when the wind picks up elsewhere. You won't find dramatic drop-offs, but it's reliably calm and full of smaller reef fish.
