Description
The Outer Reef, also known as the Murion Islands, are situated about 20 nautical miles north-east or about west of Exmouth and are surrounded by a variety of coral gardens, rocky ledges, and fascinating dive spots. On the 75-minute journey to the Islands, keep an eye out for ospreys, shearwaters, turtles, manta rays, dolphins, dugongs, and, when they are migrating, humpback whales.

Spot turtles, nurse sharks, soft coral gardens, anemones, clams, and friendly potato cod. You’ll also see giant rankin cod and thousands of colourful reef fish darting around. In the latter part of the year, manta rays often visit these dive sites.

CERTIFIED DIVERS

POOL Refresher sessions are a simple review of basic dive planning, equipment, theory, and dive skills. Sessions usually last 1.5–3 hours and include pool time. Please wear bathers and bring a towel. We schedule refreshers on demand, with additional charges.
Certified Divers must have logged a dive within the past 12 months to join our diving tours. If you haven’t dived recently, you’ll need to complete a Pool Refresher before the ocean dives.
