Dive-site story
Situated on the protected western flank of Flynn Reef in the Outer Great Barrier Reef, this site features extensive hard coral formations that sprawl across shallow sand patches and coral bommies. Dense thickets of branching staghorn coral, sprawling table corals, and boulder-like brain corals provide shelter for an enormous assortment of reef residents. Light penetration illuminates the reef structure, making it ideal for relaxed exploration and underwater photography.
Vast fields of pristine staghorn and plate corals spanning shallow sandy flats
Resident green sea turtles and hawksbills grazing across the reef top
Large giant clams displaying iridescent mantles among the coral heads
