About this dive site
This dive site is famous for its 'drift' along a stunningly beautiful white sand beach, part of the Ningaloo Reef. Divers and snorkelers enter at one end and let the current carry them over dense coral gardens teeming with fish, just meters from shore. The accessibility and beauty make it one of Australia's most iconic marine experiences.
