This dive site, known as Fingers on Norman Reef, is a shallow, well-protected cove renowned for its unique topography that, from a bird's-eye view, resembles the fingers of a hand. These 'fingers' extend to the South-West of the site, gradually descending into deeper waters. Its sheltered nature makes it an excellent destination for divers of all experience levels, from beginners to advanced, providing calm and safe conditions for exploration.
The site is teeming with diverse marine life. Divers can frequently encounter the resident Maori Wrasse, impressive Giant Clams, and majestic White Tip Reef Sharks. Other common sightings include various Moray Eels, camouflaged Cuttlefish, and elusive Octopuses. The clear waters also often reveal graceful Green and Hawksbill Sea Turtles navigating through the vibrant coral structures.
Fingers is an ideal dive site to visit year-round due to its protected location, ensuring consistent and enjoyable diving conditions. Its shallow average depth of approximately 6 meters, with a maximum of 13 meters, allows for extended bottom times for scuba divers, while its calm and clear environment makes it perfectly suited for both snorkelers and freedivers eager to experience the wonders of the Great Barrier Reef.
