Palm Beach Reef

Palm Beach Palm Beach Reef, located close to its namesake beach on the Gold Coast, is a large reef of varying depths, perfect for any diver. With sections of the area as shallow as five metres, and other sections dropping to depths of 24 metres, there are lots of different environments here to explore.

Rocky outcrops and several large bommies are covered in a wide variety of soft corals and sponges, inhabited by an abundance of sea life – larger creatures such as stingrays, wobbegongs and spotted eagle rays are often seen, with leopard sharks common in summer. Smaller critters darting throughout the coral include blue wrasse, parrotfish, painted wrasse and a variety of reef fish, with large schools the norm..

The Scottish Prince Shipwreck

Lying just offshore, the Scottish Prince is a historic 19th-century iron barque wreck that now rests in relatively shallow water, broken into sections across the reef. Over time it has transformed into an artificial reef, attracting schools of baitfish, snapper, kingfish, and the occasional leopard shark. The scattered ribs and hull plates create dramatic underwater scenery and plenty of nooks and crannies to explore. With great visibility on the right day, it’s an unforgettable blend of history and marine life.

Two incredible sites. One unforgettable day.

Whether you’re keen on marine life, underwater photography, or exploring a piece of maritime history, this dive trip has it all!
