About this site
Coral Cascades offers a stunning drift dive along a sloping reef teeming with vibrant soft corals. Schools of anthias and butterflyfish swirl around bommies, while reef sharks patrol the drop-off. The current carries you past overhangs covered in sea fans and sponges. Visibility often exceeds 30 meters, revealing the reef's dramatic topography. Ideal for intermediate divers, with depths ranging from 12 to 25 meters. The site sits in the Coral Sea, where warm waters support exceptional biodiversity year-round.
