About this site
Bashful Bommie is a coral pinnacle on the Great Barrier Reef off far north Queensland, typically reached by day boat or liveaboard out of ports like Cairns or Port Douglas. A bommie is an isolated coral outcrop rising from the surrounding seabed, and this one tops out at a maximum depth of around 10 metres, rated an intermediate dive. Divers have reported octopus on the bommie, along with the wider reef life typical of these outcrops.
