The Abrolhos Islands are just 32 nautical miles off the coast of Geraldton, and consist of 122 islands clustered into three main groups: the Wallabi Group, Easter Group and Pelsaert Group. These islands are West Australia's own well kept secret and provide you with the most exciting diving available so close to home. Dives such as walls, deep, drift, wreck, night and photography are just a few of the many different dives you can enjoy on your next holiday.

Lying in the stream of WA's warm, southward-flowing Leeuwin Current the marine environment surrounding the Abrolhos is a meeting place for tropical and temperate sea life.

The Leeuwin Current starts to flow in April each year, and runs through the winter months until October, bringing masses of warm, low nutrient, tropical water down Western Australia's continental shelf from Indonesia. The Current carries with it a cargo of larvae, eggs and juveniles of many species of corals and other marine life taken far south of their normal range.

The Current maintains water temperatures throughout the winter at around 20-22^oC, enabling corals and tropical species of fish and invertebrates to thrive in latitudes where they wouldn't normally survive.

The Abrolhos Islands are world famous and several books have been written about them and the historic ship wrecks, one in particular is the Dutch East Indies ship, The Batavia. Weather permitting, we can take you to this very spectacular dive site and experience its past for yourself. It is recommended that before diving at the Abrolhos Islands you visit the Fremantle or Geraldton Maritime Museum to get an insight into the history of the shipwrecks. Both museums sell several books on the wrecks which provide the reader with some very interesting information.
