North Reef
Why dive here
North Reef is a reef dive where divers can encounter humpback whales and tiger sharks. Water ranges 21-29°C, warmest January, February, March.
North Reef gives you a good cross-section of Ningaloo's healthy coral reef system. We’ve found plenty of pelagics cruising by, so keep an eye out for tuna or even reef sharks in the blue. It’s generally a relaxed drift, making it a good option for newer divers or those looking for an easy second dive.
