Barracuda Bommie is a pinnacle site rising through Queensland waters where depths run from 10 to 29 metres and visibility regularly reaches 30 metres in good conditions. Mild current keeps the diving comfortable while supporting a solid variety of reef life. Barracuda and jackfish are the main draw around the structure, with reef sharks and nurse sharks adding weight to the experience. Honeycomb grouper and blue barred parrotfish work the hard coral, sea turtles pass through regularly, and the soft gingerbread hem star appears on closer inspection of the reef. Be aware of jellyfish and sharks throughout your dive.
