Why dive here
With 213+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, eagle rays, nurse sharks and sea turtles - Wonder World offers some of Lighthouse Reef's richest diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
Wonder World, just north of us in Lighthouse Reef, gives you a nice sense of scale. You’ll find yourself navigating between colossal coral formations that start around 65 feet and drop away dramatically. It’s perfect for those who enjoy exploring the nooks and crannies, weaving around the coral heads looking for nurse sharks tucked away, or scanning for southern stingrays on the sand and green moray eels peeking from crevices. Keep an eye out; a pod of bottlenose dolphins occasionally swings by, sometimes circling divers as if to say hello. It's a relaxed dive, good for taking your time and soaking it all in.
