    CharacterReef dive

    Turquoise Bay, part of Ningaloo Reef, offers a relaxed drift snorkel or shallow dive. We like to enter at the southern end and let the gentle current carry us over the sandy patches and small coral bommies. You’ll spot reef sharks cruising by and plenty of parrotfish munching on coral. It’s ideal for newer divers or anyone looking for an easy, scenic session.
