Dive sites in Christmas Island

Located at Flying Fish Cove, this dive centers on the historic loading jetty and the fringing reef right outside the harbor. Divers navigate between heavy concrete and steel pylons encrusted with soft corals and sponges before reaching a steep coral wall that plunges into oceanic depths. Because the cove is naturally sheltered from southeastern trade winds, conditions inside are often calm and accessible directly from the shore.

Perpendicular Wall drops sheer into oceanic depths off the coast of Christmas Island. Divers drift along a dramatic limestone precipice cloaked in sea fans and whip corals, watching the blue for pelagic species cruising past the island's narrow fringing shelf.

Located near the entrance to Flying Fish Cove on Christmas Island, Smith Point features a narrow coral-covered terrace that drops off into an oceanic abyss. The sheer vertical wall showcases healthy plate corals and sea fans, positioned directly in the path of open-ocean currents.
