A full day tour on the water exploring this world heritage area famed for gorgeous colourful soft corals. This is a great tour for advanced snorkelers and divers of all levels who can enjoy the diversity of marine life.
Surrounded by an abundance of coral gardens, rocky ledges and intriguing dive sites, the Outer Reef or Muiron Islands are located about 20nm north east or around the west of Exmouth. Keep your eyes open during the 75 minute trip across to the Islands for ospreys, shearwaters, turtles, manta rays, dolphins, and during their migration, humpback whales.
We have a wide range of dive sites with a maximum depth of 20m, with the top of the reef at 4 to 6m deep and usually only gentle currents. The dive sites around the Outer Reef or Muiron Islands are suitable for level 2 snorkelers (over Six years of age) and divers. Swim-throughs and ledges provide plenty of places to search for shrimps, nudibranchs, eels, juvenile angelfish and other timid creatures. In mid-water and against the reefs look for friendly potato cod, large rankin cod, turtles, nurse sharks, soft coral gardens, anemones, clams and 100's of darting, colourful reef fish. Late in the year, manta rays grace several of our dive sites, too. A medical Questionnaire must be answered before taking this tour. Please contact us for full details.
Included;
- A fresh lunch, drinks and snacks

Please Note - This Is NOT an Exclusive Snorkel Only Tour. There maybe scuba divers onboard too. Snorkelling is in open ocean on coral atolls rising from various depths and reaching within 2 to 6M from the surface. In some areas the entry from the boat will be in 12m deep water and will require a snorkel over to the shallower areas. The surface conditions can be choppy at times. Level 2 snorkelling
