Do an easy, fun, shallow (5-7m) SCUBA dive on the coral bommies of the inner Ningaloo Reef during the afternoon of your whale shark tour. Pricing starting from just $80 including all gear. It’s one of the best value scuba dives in Australia!
Do I need a dive license?
Our inner reef is ideal for beginner divers! With a maximum depth of 7m, these sites offer the opportunity to experience diving on the Ningaloo in shallow, calm conditions. For this reason, these dives are perfect for uncertified divers without a scuba license to sign up for a Try-dive. You’ll learn basic dive theory & practice the necessary skills to equip you for your first breaths underwater, all the while being next to our experienced instructional staff.
We also offer both self-guided* & guided dive options in the afternoon on our whale shark tours. Whether you’ve only got a few dives under your belt, or your log book is full, it’s always an incredible experience to stay down with Ningaloo’s wildlife for an uninterrupted 30-minutes. For these dives, you do require to show proof of your dive certification, and have been diving in the last 12 months.
[*Please note that the self-guided option is dependant on a buddy joining you. We do not allow solo dives off of our boat!]
If it’s been more than 12 months since your last dive, you can opt to refresh your scuba skills with an instructor before heading off on your guided dive.
How do I book this?
Just add your chosen dive as an extra when you book your whale shark tour online, or organise it with the crew on the day!
(Guided dives can only be organised on the day of your tour depending on availability, as our instructors prioritise any Try-dive bookings due to PADI’s standards regarding in-water ratios).
Please note: We won’t proceed with diving in conditions that are less than enjoyable – instead we will cancel, and refund you your money.
We also offer a range of whale shark tour plus scuba diving tours packages – check them out.
