Free diving Coral Bay Ningaloo Reef Western Australia

Blue Maze

One of the top ten snorkel spots voted by National Geographic, the Blue Maze in Coral Bay on Western Australia's Ningaloo Reef is a labyrinth of coral formations.

With a huge variety of fish life jostling about in the upper reaches of the water column, this is a great snorkel spot but can only be accessed on board an eco-tour, whale shark tour or manta ray tour.

Just like the name says, it is a maze! With huge coral formations, this site has been rated one of the best on the Ningaloo Reef for its abundance of coral. You will find your smaller critters here such as nudibranchs, giant clams, octopus and eels and of course - lots and lots of fish species.
