Ningaloo Reef - Diving in Western Australia
by: Jakob Jelling
Ningaloo Reef is located at the western coast of Australia in an area
which starts at Cape Range and ends at Shark Bay. It is widely known due
to the fact that it has a large reef close to the shore which is unique
and can not be found at other diving sites. This characteristic is what
attracts most divers who come to the reef although there are several
other characteristics which turn the area into a very interesting and
attractive one not only for divers but also for visitors in general.
The main and most popular diving activities which visitors would be able
to meet at Ningaloo are concentrated at the area of Coral Bay and
Exmouth. Coral Bay and Exmouth are two Ningaloo towns which are
separated by a distance of about 100 kilometres and in which visitors
could choose from a wide variety of accommodation facilities.
The ideal season for visitors in general and specially divers to go to
Ningaloo is between May to February, although it is recommendable for
divers to learn more about each season and find out which time of the
year is most suitable for them. Although this area is beautiful year
around, there might be a few variations in the underwater environment
which a diver could enjoy at one season than the one he could enjoy at
another, and therefore each visitor should choose the season which best
suits his preferences.
Ningaloo's waters contain over 460 different reef fish species, an
amount hard to find at other diving destinations. Besides this variety
of fish, divers would also be able to enjoy a wide variety of vegetation
and sea creatures as well as several different coral species, some of
them very colourful and interesting to observe.
One great destination which divers who go to the Ningaloo area shouldn't
miss is the Kangaroo Island. This Island is ideal for those divers who
like cold water diving and who wish to meet unique underwater creatures.
Kangaroo Island waters contain sea dragons as well as beautiful reefs
full of beautiful vegetation.
