Dive-site story
Blizzard Ridge lies within Lighthouse Bay near the northern tip of the Ningaloo Marine Park. The site features an extended calcified limestone ridge surrounded by open sand flats, acting as an oasis for marine life seeking shelter and cleaning stations. Because depths remain shallow and currents are typically mild, divers can dedicate ample bottom time to inspecting overhangs and watching pelagic visitors cruise along the reef edge.
Extensive limestone ledge sheltering resting wobbegongs and tawny nurse sharks
Active cleaning stations frequented by green and loggerhead turtles
Frequent encounters with olive sea snakes hunting among the coral rubble
Location
