Why dive here
With 434+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blue sharks, dolphins, dwarf minke whales and great white sharks - Batterie offers some of Flic en Flac & West Coast's richest reef diving. Water sits around 28°C.
Batterie is our go-to for a relaxed dive in Flic en Flac. It’s shallow, capping out at just 10m, which makes it perfect for knocking off some rust or taking new divers out for their first proper reef experience after the initial course. We often follow the coral line after entering, just letting the gentle current (if there is one) push us along. What we really love here is the sheer density of the common reef fish. You’ll weave through schools of Blacktail Chromis and Cape Damsel, and we’ve spotted more than a few Undulated Morays peeking out from their rocky hideouts. Keep an eye on the sandy patches too; we’ve had some cracking encounters with double-ended pipefish there. The Staghorn corals are quite pretty and the visibility, averaging around 12m, is usually good enough to appreciate them. It's not a site for big pelagics, but for a chilled-out afternoon watching the smaller stuff, it’s a winner.
