About this dive site

This dive site offers an easy shore entry to beautiful coral reefs, starting at 3-8 meters and transitioning into a dramatic vertical wall that plunges beyond 40 meters. While there's no specific history provided, its natural topography provides an engaging dive profile suitable for various skill levels. Divers typically navigate along the reef top before descending the impressive wall.

The site boasts a vibrant array of marine life, including large schools of colourful reef fishes, barracudas, snappers, and long toms that inhabit the healthy corals and impressive wall formations. Enthusiasts of macro photography will be delighted to find frogfish and various other small critters commonly residing here, highlighting the site's biodiversity.

Palm Beach is ideal for visiting year-round, offering consistent marine encounters. However, divers should exercise caution and check tide schedules, as outbound currents can be very strong along the wall, particularly for those planning deeper excursions. The shallow reef area is perfect for freedivers and snorkelers to explore the vibrant coral gardens closer to the surface.
