Dive
– located 300 kilometres out to sea from broome are the rowley shoals -one of the world's best yet least known dive sites. the rowley shoals are a chain of coral atolls on the edge of one of the widest continental shelves in the world. the 3 pear-shaped atolls have shallow lagoons inhabited by corals and abundant marine life. each atoll covers an area of around 80-90 sq km, rising with nearly vertical sides from very deep water. mermaid reef rises from about 440 metres, clerke from 390 metres and imperieuse from about 230 metres. the coral atolls of the rowley shoals are famed for their almost untouched coral gardens, giant clams and other shellfish. giant potato cod and maori wrasse wait to be hand fed while colourful reef fish show little fear. drift diving in and out of the atolls sweeps you through pristine reefs with schools of trevally, mackerel and tuna. see barracuda, morays turtles and many species of shark. as well as being inhabited by a number of species found nowhere else, the coral and fish communities of the rowley shoals are unique in their composition, and in the relative abundance of species.
