Dive-site story
Located on the outer edge of Opal Reef off Port Douglas, The Wedge is characterized by a prominent wedge-shaped reef wall that descends to a sandy seabed dotted with isolated coral bommies. Hard coral formations along the upper reef crest give way to sea fans and soft corals along the sloping drop-off, offering varied exploration routes for divers and snorkelers alike.
Pronounced reef wall forming a natural shelter against prevailing ocean swells
Scattered coral bommies in the sandy channel hosting macro critters and cleaning stations
Frequent encounters with resident sea turtles resting along coral shelves
