Scuba Diving

Nguthungulli Julian Rocks is world famous for its marine life. Warm and cold water currents meet here resulting in a spectacular mix of tropical and cold water fish creating one of the most abundant fish dives in the world. On most of our dives, we see big sharks and rays, large schools of pelagics, turtles as well as nudibranchs and a lot of smaller marine life. We are only a quick boat ride from shore so we bring you back to the shop between dives. This gives our divers more flexibility in their busy schedules, so whether you want to sneak away from the office for a cheeky lunch-time dive, or ditch all your plans and soak up as much salt water as possible, we’ve got you covered.
