Scuba Diving at Muiron Islands
Offshore islands north of Exmouth with coral gardens and reliable clarity.
The Muiron Islands lie north of Exmouth and offer some of the clearest water and best coral in the Ningaloo region.
Sites include coral gardens, bommies and swim-throughs, with turtles and reef sharks common.
The transit is longer than the inshore Ningaloo sites, so trips are generally full-day and weather-dependent.
Recommended: Open Water Diver. Parts of the site reach 25 m, which needs Advanced Open Water Diver. What can I dive with my cert?
