Turtle Alley Dive Site

Dive alongside the vertical shallow lagoon wall of Lady Musgrave Lagoon. Walls are home to many creatures great and small, so take your time to discover all the nooks and crannies in this unique terrain and coral formation full of fish. To witness the abundance of wildlife, staying close to the wall where there will be less current is crucial, so getting buoyancy under control is key.

Turtle Alley is located within the calm, turquoise waters of the lagoon. Diving the Turtle Alley is a shallow lagoon wall dive with a depth of up to 10 metres, perfect for non-certified beginners with no experience or certified divers looking for a leisurely dive during the day or night.

If you've wanted to tick 'swim with turtles' off your bucket list, here's your chance. Turtle Alley has a sandy bottom with large scattered bommies used as cleaning stations for resident green turtles, hawksbill turtles, and green turtles. This makes for the perfect photo opportunity to make friends back home jealous!

Alongside friendly resident turtles, you'll also come across amazing colonies of bushy finger corals filled with lots of small, colourful fish, including blue and green chromis, damsel fish, and butterfly fish. If lucky, you may even spot a white-tip reef shark resting on the sandy bottom.
