Welcome to Cocos Dive on the Cocos (Keeling) Islands

Cocos Dive is located on Cocos (Keeling) Islands, an external territory of Australia right in the middle of the Indian Ocean some 2750km north-west of Perth and 900km west south-west of Christmas Island, its closest neighbour. The atoll lies approximately 12° south and 96.5° east, locating it in the humid tropical zone. This little known horseshoe-shaped jewel rises from the depths of the Indian Ocean atop of a huge volcanic seamount, unspoiled by commercialism or overrun by tourists. It's actually one of Australia's best kept diving holiday destination secrets!

The reefs surrounding Cocos offers divers world class, 5-star diving in a unique 5-star underwater environment. Pristine gardens of colourful soft leather corals, steep slopes covered with glorious golden green cabbage shaped hard corals and huge gorgonian fans that cling precariously to the walls as they sway to and fro in the gentle current; Cocos has all this and more! Sharks, turtles, mantas, pelagics, brightly coloured marine fish and dolphins are regularly seen during your diving holiday. You may even be treated to a visit from our lone dugong, Kat. For those who enjoy diving on history there is an underwater wreck trail on the southern atoll. Although not fully completed, it is already proving popular with divers and snorkellers. And more historical artifacts have been recently discovered.

For the non-diving partner relax or walk along a deserted beach, take a day trip out on Geof's glass-bottom boat and snorkel with the butterfly fish, explore tiny Prison Island or do some lagoon fishingl; visit Home Island and take in a cultural tour around the Cocos Malay kampong; enjoy a great coffee at Dorys of Cocos, or simply explore the islands yourself. There is always something to do even if it's just lying on the beach relaxing. Visit the Cocos (Keeling) Islands Tourism web site for more information.

Picture yourself holidaying on the Cocos (Keeling) Islands enjoying the hospitality, personalised service and uncrowded diving with Cocos Dive.

Due to the increasing popularity of the Islands, bookings are now essential. This does not mean overcrowded dive sites and boats. Our boat sizes and maximum diver numbers have remained and will remain the same in order to continue our recognised personalised service.

Testimonial Example: Whenever we would come across a pod of dolphins (and this happened on three days) Dieter and Karen always gave us the opportunity to snorkel with them..........
