Big Brother Dive Site
Why dive here
Big Brother Dive Site is a dive where divers can encounter humpback whales, spinner dolphins and whale sharks. Water ranges 22-30°C, warmest July, August, September.
Big Brother gives you a true open-ocean feel. Strong currents are common here, sweeping past the steep walls, so it’s best for experienced divers comfortable with drift dives. Keep an eye out for pelagics, especially oceanic white tips, and you might even spot a whale shark cruising by. The staghorn corals are impressive, forming large, intricate structures on the plateaus.
