Rowley Shoals Diving

Embark on an adventure to explore one of the world’s greatest collection of coral atolls as one of a small group of privileged visitors..

“Three coral atolls featuring the best wall diving I’ve ever done. Five times now and never fails to excite.” Rodney Fox, Rodney Fox Shark Expeditions

“As divers and photographer/film-makers, we have been lucky enough to have dived all over the world. The health of the coral reef system in Rowley Shoals is as good as any we have seen due mostly to the remoteness of the shoals and their level of protection from both government agencies and the dive operators like the Great Escape Charter Company. Acres of pristine hard corals, bottomless walls, and dizzying visibility make this a “must-dive” destination well worth visiting. The vessel, onboard accomodation, comfort, and especially the food are as good as any we have seen and better than most. Likewise, the crew, led by the remarkable experience of Trippy made the trip one to remember. We look forward to our next visit.”

A day’s cruising west of Broome, the Rowley Shoals is a largely undiscovered underwater paradise offering divers and snorkellers an eco experience unmatched anywhere else.

Prepare to be inspired by three, spectacular, pristine coral atolls rising 400 metres from the ocean floor, on the very edge of the world’s widest continental shelf.

Cod Hole, Mermaid Reef

You’ll be able to dive on one of the ocean’s largest, untouched coral gardens, swim among giant clams, shellfish, Maori Wrasse and Giant Potato Cod and discover 233 species of exquisite coral and 688 fish species, many of which are colourful, exotic and unique to the area.

Amazingly, the underwater visibility is 20 to 60 metres and the water temperature is typically and irresistibly tropical.

Cave diving at the Rowley Shoals

The Rowley Shoals provides a unique opportunity to experience turquoise lagoons filled with extraordinary coral bommies, unbelievably colourful coral formations and canyons. You’ll also have a chance to enjoy high-speed drift, night dives, cave diving and snorkelling.

Rowley Shoals Coral Gardens

The Rowley Shoals are among the few reefs in the world affected by dramatic 5-metre tides which move massive volumes of seawater into and out of the coral framework, creating unearthly, enchanting coralscapes.

This world-class area is protected by Government protocols.
