To scuba dive in Shark Bay means experiencing the “Wild West”. Steep Point is world-renowned as a fishing location but the surrounding World Heritage listed marine park is one of the undiscovered jewels of the diving world.
Their full-day tours visit areas populated by species including Queensland grouper, turtles, crayfish, cuttlefish, stingrays, mackerel, trevally and of course Sharks! And when they say Sharks they mean Grey nurse, Tawny nurse, Sandbar whalers, Dusky whalers, Wobbegongs, Tiger Sharks and even Whalesharks. All of these species can be seen while diving here! Humpback whales, dolphins and dugongs are also residents of this area depending on the time of year. Ancient tectonic activity has created huge underwater caverns encrusted in stunning soft corals.

The island lies within the Shark Bay World Heritage area and is a popular ecotourism destination.
