Wheeler Reef is rated as one of the premier snorkeling and dive sites in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. This reef has many shallow areas well suited to snorkeling and introductory diving, as well as deep bommies and swim-throughs for the experienced diver.
Sites such as Student Bommies with a maximum depth of 12m have a sandy bottom, excellent coral cover and a diverse array of marine life. Shark Alley is renowned for sightings of black tip & white tip reef sharks, grey reef whaler sharks, giant trevally, and pygmy manta rays (Oct-Dec). Wheeler Reef is an excellent location for diving with large schools of pelagic species, as well as macro species such as the ghost pipe fish.
