Why dive here
With 391+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blacktip reef sharks, grey reef sharks, humpback whales and orcas - Aussie Point offers some of Iron Bottom Sound's richest reef diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest January, April, December.
Aussie Point gives you that classic Iron Bottom Sound feel, even without a wreck. The point itself drops off deep, though we usually stick to the top 21 meters, where the reef is in great shape. You’ll spot huge gorgonian sea fans swaying in the current and the place is alive with fish – schools of barracuda and trevally are common. We’ve had some good luck here with pelagics too, seeing reef sharks and the occasional mobula ray glide by. For divers who appreciate a healthy reef with a chance for big animal encounters, it’s a solid choice.
