Diving in Australia is probably the dream of any scuba diving enthusiast. Countless reefs, a huge ocean, incredibly beautiful and diverse underwater world - this is a real diving paradise.
Ningaloo Reef
Be sure to check out the Ningaloo Wildlife Sanctuary. The underwater world here amazes with a riot of colors and representatives of the underwater community: 200 species of graceful hard corals, 50 varieties of soft corals and just an incredible amount of fish - almost 500 species. Turtles, soaring gracefully almost at the surface of manta rays, mischievous dolphins and calm sea cows will accompany you during an exciting dive.
Mornington Peninsula
There are some interesting dive sites here. And the first is Port Phillip Heads, the wonderful world of which will open before you after a short trip (just an hour from Melbourne). Seahorses and cuttlefish hiding behind their ink stains, stinging rays and sea urchins, amazing rag-pickers and colorful groupers will remain in your memories for a long time. Descending to more solid depths, you can look at the wrecks - submarines, which sank to the bottom during the First World War.
Diving trail
This is the name of eleven dive sites one after the other. They are located on the east coast of Tasmania. The pure amazing turquoise shade of the water is completely transparent, so the visibility reaches 40 meters in depth. Vobs Bay with numerous seahorses, then the Governor's Island Marine Sanctuary, where you will surely enjoy the clusters of cesioperque and anemones, and then De Fock Island, with its unique caves that have become home to a huge colony of fur seals. Be sure to dive in Troy Dee, near Maria Island, and be sure to visit the reefs and caves of Watfall Bay. A brown seaweed Fortescue Bay, reminiscent of dense thickets, hid an interesting wreck - the steamer "Nord", which sank in 1925.
Baird Bay
This small fishing village is famous for the fact that a colony of sea lions lives near its coast, which have practically disappeared from the face of the earth. And here you can observe them in their natural habitat, and even swim with them. The animals are very friendly and not at all afraid of divers. Flocks of restless dolphins are also circling here, ready to play with you indefinitely.
Darwin Harbor
Great dive site if you are interested in wreck diving. There is just an incredible amount of shipwrecks dating back to the Second World War. And today carpet sharks, barracudas, coral salmon and perches of amazing silver color live here.
