Steve’s Bommie is one of the best dive sites on the Great Barrier Reef. Incredible diversity and density of marine life. Macro life clings to the bommie while large schools of fish, drawn to the structure, circle around it. Expect to see reef sharks, rays, schools of trevally, anemone fish, stone fish, nudibranchs, colourful corals. This dive site has something for everyone!
An underwater plaque commemorates ‘Steve’ who the bommie was named after.
