Little Beach combines natural reef with artificial reef structure in shallow water, making it an accessible shore dive for intermediate divers wanting to explore a mixed habitat. Depths run from 2 to 10 metres, though visibility is variable and can be poor, so good buoyancy control matters here. Strong current and surf at entry are the main challenges to manage. The reef supports sponges, wrasse, Old Wife and Bullseye schooling around structure, while Western Blue Groper patrol the bottom. Keep a slow pace and look carefully for Weedy Seadragon, Southern Fiddler Ray resting on sand patches, and the distinctive Soft Gingerbread Hem Star.

South Point is a boat-access reef and wall dive that drops from 10 to 40 metres, putting this firmly in deep diving territory. The wall and drop-off structure creates a productive edge where currents concentrate marine life, so expect encounters with Queen Snapper, Breaksea Cod, and Bight Redfish working the water column. Cuttlefish, Moonlighter, and juvenile fish frequent the shallower sections of the reef, while Old Wife are a reliable presence throughout. Visibility ranges from 3 to 15 metres depending on conditions. Strong currents are the defining factor here, demanding solid buoyancy control and good dive planning before you descend.

Phantoms combines a wall and reef in one site, giving you two distinct underwater environments to explore from a single boat entry. The reef section sits at shallower depths where beginners feel comfortable, while the wall drops well beyond 20 metres into deep diving territory, so it pays to keep a close eye on your depth gauge and stay within your training limits. Visibility ranges from 10 to 30 metres depending on conditions, and the mild current generally makes navigation straightforward. Various reef species move through the site year-round, meaning there is no bad season to visit. Stick to the shallower reef sections until you build confidence.

Bettys Beach is a shallow reef site suited to beginner divers and snorkellers looking to explore close to shore in Western Australia. The reef sits in easy, shallow waters down to 10 metres, though visibility varies considerably depending on conditions, so checking ahead is worthwhile. A mild current keeps things manageable, but expect some surge near the rocks. The underwater life here rewards slow, patient exploration. Keep an eye out for nudibranchs tucked among the sponges, and look carefully along the reef for blacklip abalone. The entry is rocky, so reef shoes or booties are a practical choice.

Bettys Beach is a straightforward shore dive off Western Australia that suits newer divers well. You enter directly from the beach and the reef is accessible without complicated navigation. Visibility runs from 16 to 21 metres, which means you can orientate yourself clearly and take your time exploring. The site drops into deeper water of 16 to 21 metres, so there is room to build confidence at depth without feeling overwhelmed. Current is generally mild, though surge can catch you off guard near the reef, so stay aware of your position relative to the structure. Various reef species move through the area, giving you plenty to watch.

The Fingers is a wall and drop-off site that earns its advanced rating through a combination of surge, depth, and moderate to strong current. The reef structure drops to 30 metres, with the shallower sections sitting around 9 metres where surge can be felt along the wall. Visibility runs 10 to 20 metres, giving you solid sightlines into the blue where pelagic fish and wahoo patrol the deeper water. Breaksea cod and WA blue grouper hold close to the structure, while pink snapper and queen snapper work the mid-water column. Plan your bottom time carefully at depth.

The Cables is a reef and artificial reef site off Western Australia that rewards intermediate divers with a genuine mix of structure and marine life. Depths run from 8 to 28 metres in the deeper sections, and visibility holds at a solid 10 to 15 metres. Mild currents keep conditions manageable without making it a drift dive. The artificial elements attract reef fish, blue grouper, and the striking Western Blue Devils, while slower divers will find nudibranchs and well-camouflaged scorpionfish tucked into the structure. The entanglement hazard is the primary concern here, so buoyancy control and situational awareness around any cables or lines are essential.

Seal Cove is built around one thing: close encounters with New Zealand fur seals and Australian sea lions in their own habitat. Depths run from a shallow 2 metres down to 20 metres, so beginners can stay comfortable in the shallower zones while still getting a genuine reef experience. Visibility reaches 10 to 20 metres, which means you can watch the seals coming from a good distance away. The reef itself holds southern black corals, gorgonian fans, and brittle stars, with bullseyes, swallowtail nannygais, blue groper, and sea dragons also present. Current is mild, though be prepared for some surge near the reef structure.
