Diving

Lady Elliot Island is internationally renowned for the best visibilty on the Barrier Reef, 40 resident Manta Rays* and The Severence Wreck dive. The coral cay represents one of the most pristine and untouched sections of the Great Barrier Reef and is free of some of the threats facing other sections of the reef such as coral bleaching and crown of thorns starfish.

Lady Elliot Island offers a great diversity of uncrowded, easily accessible dive locations (see dive map) to experience the biggest coral reef system in the world. Visibility is over 30 metres for much of the year and encounters with giant Manta Rays, Green and Loggerhead Turtles and other incredible marine life are a daily occurrence.

At Lady Elliot Island, our experienced dive staff personally escort all dives. We schedule two dives per day with optional night dives available. Our PADI dive shop offers courses to cater to all levels of experience.

If this is your first time, you can try our "Discover Scuba Diver". That way you will not miss a breath taking opportunity to experience the many riches that lie at the bottom of the Great Barrier Reef.
Lady Elliot Island Eco Resort offers four levels of accommodation catering to all budgets.
