Help Diving Ningaloo: Any Advice Welcome

[bozzathecat]

Hello all

I will be going to Oz in July to hopefully catch the whale shark migration, but having difficulty finding any decent reviews for who to dive with.

Liveaboard seemed the best option, but if anyone has other suggestions please let me know.

Am very excited about this trip, so will be looking forward to the replies!

Thanks in advance.

Hi Tim
I've dived (snorkelled, actually) with the whale sharks at Ningaloo twice now.
I'm not certain if there are any liveaboards that follow the whale sharks. Day trip boats AFAIK.
Be aware that you can take whale shark trips from Exmouth or from Coral Bay (further south). In any event, both locations are worth visiting. In Coral Bay you can snorkel over good coral right off the beach.
cheers
Doug

Have a look here - Dive Exmouth WA | Ningaloo Whaleshark N Dive or here Ningaloo Reef Whale Sharks | Manta Rays | Coral Bay Adventures - Ningaloo Reef Dive - the best diving at Ningaloo IMO is around Ningaloo Station before point Cloates and the lighthouse but that requires you to have a 4WD and a boat.

I just saw this so I'm not sure if you have organised your trip yet, but you could try PMing Alcina. She posts a lot in the Australia forum and is a local to that area I think.

Enjoy your trip.
