Shire Of Cocos

The Shire of Cocos is a coastal region in Australia that encompasses a network of tropical atolls and lagoons. Diving here is characterized by clear warm waters, gentle currents, and abundant underwater visibility, with sites that range from shallow reef flats to deeper drop-offs. The area around Bantam offers macro life, small reef fish, and soft corals, while more exposed sites highlight walls and drift potential. Access is via regional hubs in the broader region, and dives are commonly conducted from boats with calm sea conditions typical of the area. The region suits recreational divers seeking relaxed, accessible diving with a focus on healthy coral communities and diverse small critters.
