Briefing of Barren & Child Islands

Seven miles east of Great Keppel Island are Barren & Child Islands. Diving these islands allows us to visit numerous sites ranging from 30m (100ft) off Child, to a very easy but extremely pretty area with depths of 6 - 9m (20 - 30ft) known as One Bum Beach.

A drift dive in the passage between and along the top of the islands is an experience where we find large schools of Spanish Mackerel, Tuna, Trevally, Black Kingfish and occasionally, the odd Manta Ray may be spotted. The fringing reefs of these two islands ensure an endless display of tropical fish life and spectacular colors of coral.
