Odyssey Liveaboard

Dive Area & Sites

The Rowley Shoals Marine Park offers an exceptional diving experience with its vibrant, untouched coral reefs and abundant marine life. Divers can expect excellent visibility, often exceeding 50 meters, in warm waters ranging from 29-30 degrees Celsius. The area is renowned for its diverse ecosystem, featuring numerous white-tipped and grey reef sharks, occasional leopard sharks and hammerheads, schooling trevally, massive bumphead parrotfish, and a variety of colorful tropical fish including potato cod and clownfish. Encounters with turtles, manta rays, and even whales and dolphins are common. Diving is primarily drift diving, allowing divers to effortlessly glide along spectacular coral walls and through swim-throughs at depths between 5 and 40 meters. While Nitrox is not available, the rich marine environment ensures every dive is captivating. Dive operations are managed from the 12-meter tender 'Homer', which efficiently transports divers to the best sites. Dive times are generally limited to 50 minutes or 50 bar, with divers deploying SMBs for retrieval. The crew, including experienced dive masters, focuses on safety and guiding groups, though individual pointing out of marine life may vary. The isolated nature of the Rowley Shoals means pristine conditions and a truly unique underwater adventure.
