Located 300kms from land, the Rowley Shoals are a chain of coral atolls. These atolls rise nearly vertically from approximately 440 metres deep on the edge of one of the most extensive continental shelves in the world. Rising from the deep blue of the Indian Ocean, each of the three coral atolls covers around 90sq km and features a diverse array of snorkelling and diving environments with exceptional visibility.
The Rowley Shoals are among the few reefs in the world that are affected by a massive tidal range. The dramatic five-metre tides pour vast volumes of water in and out of the coral framework which has created unearthly and enchanting coral landscapes. The Rowley Shoals is home to an astonishing 233 species of coral and 688 species of fish including many that are not found on near-shore coral reefs.
Less than 200 people a year are privileged to experience the swimming pool-like conditions of the Rowley Shoals Marine Park. Be one of the few to enjoy the unspoilt beauty of the Rowley Shoals. Dive crystal clear lagoons and sheer vertical walls. Drift dive through deep, clear canyons alongside turtles, sharks and the many species of marine life that inhabit this unique and remote area.
