West Coast Dive Park
The West Coast Dive Park is located within the boundaries of the Shoalwater Island Marine Park, a 279 square kilometre area that’s home to a myriad of marine life, submerged reefs and historic shipwrecks, making this a great location for diving.
The submarine environment is characterised by a sandy-bottom and sea-grass areas, underwater ledges and overhangs, lumps, cavernous and low broken reefs, with fringing reefs that offer added protection.
The reef and wreck areas support a variety of temperate and subtropical invertebrates including sea stars, urchins and molluscs as well as a number of fish species. Bottlenose dolphins are extremely common in the waters.
There some 10 wrecks located on the ocean floor within this area. Popular wreck dive sites within the park include the Carlisle Castle and the SS Orizaba.
There is good diving throughout the year. In summer, morning dives are best, before the afternoon sea breeze arrives, while calm winter days can offer enjoyable diving conditions. Water temperatures are moderate year round.
The park includes locations with depths up to 25 metres. Dive sites require boat access. There are a number of local dive companies who run regular tours.
