Lighthouse Bay

Lighthouse Bay collects Exmouth's everyday boat diving under one name: a spread of bommie fields and low ridges below the cape's lighthouse, with sites like the Labyrinth and Blizzard Ridge divided among maze-like limestone lanes and fish-stacked coral stacks. Nudibranch hunting is dependable, turtles and whitetips are near-certain, big cod hole up under ledges, and in season mantas and even humpbacks pass through the same water column the dive briefing covered five minutes earlier. It is unglamorous, consistent, close to town, and the sort of diving that fills the days between whale-shark trips without feeling like filler.
