Broadhurst Corals is a boat-access reef site off Western Australia that rewards intermediate divers with a solid mix of macro and pelagic life across depths of 0 to 20 metres. Visibility ranges from 5 to 20 metres depending on conditions, with the site showing its best face in April and October. Plate corals form the structural backbone of the reef, while wobbegong sharks and Australian giant cuttlefish provide slow-moving subjects worth lingering over. Loggerhead turtles, reef sharks, trevally, and emperor fish round out the larger residents. A moderate current runs through the site, so buoyancy control and awareness of your position matter here. Sea snakes are present and best observed from a respectful distance.

Time your dive around slack tide to make the most of the moderate current, particularly if you want to spend time with the cuttlefish or wobbegong without constantly repositioning. Keep an eye on boat traffic during your ascent and deploy a surface marker buoy before you come up.
