DIVING THE COCOS (KEELING) ISLANDS
Diving the Cocos (Keeling) Islands
is a year round activity. The water temperature averages between
26°C during the cooler months of July through to October
and 29°C during the warmer months of December through to
May. Occasionally, a colder thermacline may drop the water
temperature down to a "chilly" 25°C!
Visibility on most dive sites
averages 20-30 metres. Some sites where the lagoon flushes
out into the Indian Ocean may cause the visibility to drop
to 15 metres. Most of the dive sites are suitable to any level
of experience.
The Cocos (Keeling) Islands have
steep drop-offs that allows those divers who are qualified
and/or suitably experienced to venture deeper than the less
experienced diver. Having the luxury of multi-level diving
ensures everyone is able to enjoy the same site and similar
experiences with the marine creatures.
Cocos (Keeling) Islands is also
a wonderful destination for the photographer. The waters surrounding
the atoll teem with spectacular marine life, sharks, turtles,
pelagics, unusual hybrids, macro creatures, pristine coral
gardens and beautiful mammals.
