Tranquility
Rowley Shoals is a very remote dive site close to Perth in Australia. The coral formations rise up from a staggering 440m/1443ft depth and are affected by 5m/16ft tides that shape the underwater landscape. At low tide, lagoons are formed, and divers will find themselves in a huge crystal-clear swimming pool. They can also venture through the caves, swim-throughs, and down vertical drop-offs.

When To Go Diving

The best diving and snorkeling conditions at Rowley Shoals are from October to December. The water temperature range is 25-30C/77-86F. The air temperature averages 30C/86F year-round.
