Near the iconic east coast town of Bicheno, the adjacent Governor Island marine reserve provides some of the best diving in Australia.
Granite boulders and ledges provide habitat for kelp in the shallows and spectacular sponge gardens, zooanthids and other invertebrates at depth. Around this butterfly perch and other fish swarm across the bottom.
All experience levels welcome, however the best diving is below 18m
Accommodation is provided, however you will have to supply your own food… but never fear because
