Islands Dive Safaris - Exmouth

The Trip involves steaming to the various isolated islands off the Exmouth Ningaloo Coastline. We move between the many Islands in this region (many only 20- 30 minutes apart) camping the night. During the day we visit amazing pristine dive sites, together with some fabulous fishing. We can almost guarantee you will see whales daily and and Manta rays and turtles galore.
