Heron Island

Heron Island is a small island off the coast of Queensland, accessible by boat from the mainland. It is a protected coral atoll environment within the Coral Sea, known for its easy shore and boat-based diving access. The surrounding reefs host healthy marine life and are often approached by local operators from nearby ports; however, this record has no listed dive centers, and the official on-island facilities may be limited. Divers typically base themselves for day trips or guided tours, with conditions generally warm and clear, and visibility variable with tides.
