Backyard Beach

Backyard Beach offers a mellow wall dive, perfect for an easy afternoon. The reef top sits just a few metres down, dropping to 10m in places, with a maximum recorded depth of 13m. You'll navigate a couple of small swim-throughs along the wall, which are fun to duck into. We've seen plenty of Threespot Righteye Flounders here, often tucked into the soft corals, alongside the more common Blue and Gold Fusiliers schooling overhead. Visibility averages about 13m, so it’s a good spot for newer divers or those who prefer to take things slow. Look for the pavona corals and sea whips as you drift along.
