Moreton Bay Diving

A great diving location not far from the Sunshine Coast is Moreton Bay. The bay itself extends about 125km from Caloundra down to the Gold Coast Seaway, and it’s only about an hour drive to get there. Among some fabulous reef dive sites, there are also a number of shipwreck dives in shallow waters.

Sheltered by North Stradbroke Island and Moreton Island, the bay has wonderfully calm waters with great visibility, which can extend 20 metres on a good day. There’s a plethora of marine life that you’ll see in these waters including stingrays, grey nurse sharks, a range of fish species, coral reefs, dugong turtles, dolphins and even humpback whales in the migration seasons.
