Why dive here
With 183+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, sea turtles, sperm whales and lionfish - Ray's point offers some of Inner Islands's richest diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest March, April, May.
Ray’s Point is one of those sites we always try to hit when we're in the Inner Islands. It’s a granite boulder reef that runs along the shore, reaching a maximum depth of around 17 metres. We love the way the light filters through the water here, catching the thousands of tiny silversides that often swarm the rocks. It's a great spot for spotting those smaller, often-missed critters like the Red-streaked Blenny or a High Hat Triplefin peeking out from a crevice. The current can be a bit unpredictable, sometimes a gentle drift, sometimes a proper push, so keep an eye on the conditions before you jump. Our favourite thing is cruising along the reef wall, scanning for Hawksbill turtles munching on sponges or a sneaky Enigmatic Moray hiding in the cracks. You might also spot some chunky parrotfish and schools of Blackwedged Butterflyfish fluttering by. It’s an ideal dive for anyone who enjoys a relaxed pace, letting you really take your time and soak in the details rather than rushing past big pelagics.
