Humpback whales are in the area from June until November and Manta rays can be seen along the Ningaloo Reef near Exmouth from May to November. As summer arrives, so do the Green, Loggerhead and Hawksbill turtles and they begin their nesting season after mating during October and November and can be seen on the beaches right up until March.
Add the bio-diversity of 250 species of corals, a great assortment of Nudibranches and over 500 different species of fish including local reef sharks to the mix and it makes Exmouth an impressive destination all year round.
Exmouth Diving Centre is located just behind the Potshot hotel on Payne St.

Surrounded by an abundance of coral gardens, rocky ledges and intriguing dive sites, the Muiron Islands are located about 10nm north east of Exmouth. Keep your eyes open during the 45 minute trip across to the Islands for ospreys, shearwaters, turtles, manta rays, dolphins, dugongs, and during their migration, humpback whales.
We have a wide range of dive sites with a maximum depth of 20m and usually only gentle currents, the dive sites around the Muiron Islands are suitable for all levels of snorkelers and divers. Swim-throughs and ledges provide plenty of places to search for shrimps, nudibranchs, eels, juvenile angelfish and other timid creatures. In mid-water and against the reefs look for friendly potato cod, large rankin cod, turtles, nurse sharks, soft coral gardens, anemones, clams and 1000’s of darting, colourful reef fish. Late in the year, manta rays grace several of our dive sites, too.
Included;
- A fresh buffet lunch, drinks and snacks
- High quality snorkel equipment
- Experienced crew to guide you on your adventure!
- Free Nitrox for all certified divers.
- Complementary transfers from accommodation in Exmouth.

Whale Swimming Participants — THIS TOUR IS FOR ‘GOOD SNORKELLERS ONLY’!
We Will Primarily ONLY Target Humpback Whales for this Tour.
However If the weather conditions are not suitable, or visibility is low, the Backup Plan will be to look for Whalesharks and this is ONLY if we can’t find suitable Whales.
Being wild animals every day is unique and our focus is on humpback whales, but the visibility conditions and animal behaviours are not always just right enough to swim with humpback whales. We don’t know until we get out there what will be accessible, how the whales behave or even if there is a whaleshark in the same area as a backup plan. What we do know is that we will have small groups, our plane and the best crew to get the best results possible on the day.
From June until October we are authorized to operate tours where guests may enter the water when the whales are relaxed, with a maximum group size of 7 swimmers plus a guide & Videographer in the water at the same time. While non-swimming guests observe the whales from the boat whilst manoeuvring as close as 75 meters! This is closer than any other whale watching cruise in Australia. This will give you a very special view for non-swimmers to enjoy the whales as they display their natural behaviours.
FREE Video & Pictures of the day Included. We will copy these onto one 8Gb souvenir USB for your booking. Pictures and Video will be available at our shop in the Mall next to the bakery, after 9am the following day. If you are leaving early we can post the USB at the nominal postage charge for your home location.
The swimmers, with the careful watch of their guide, will slide into the water and approach the Humpback Whale. We have strict distance guidelines and safety is paramount in these very special encounters. Swimmers can approach as close as 30 meters from the whale which will provide an excellent surface view of the animals and allow the swimmers to hear their beautiful songs. The whales are curious and are allowed to approach us within 15 metres giving us a unique close encounter. Our dedicated spotter plane pilot personally talks via radio, to the in-water guide to ensure a great interaction.
Before entering the water near a whale or whaleshark, swimmers will be required to take a morning quick in water swimming assessment as required by our license conditions. You must be physically fit, over 13years old, MUST be a good snorkeller and have snorkelled within the past 6 months to be eligible to enter the water with a whale.
We also include a come again at 1⁄2 priceGuarantee… If you don’t get to experience an in water interaction with a Whale, Whaleshark or Manta Ray, you get 50% off the ticket price of your next Whale swim tour.
*conditions apply*

With Mutual Respect
The WhaleSharks we visit are exceptionally consistent in their habits and successful encounters are extremely reliable. But please remember we are visiting wild animals in their own environment. We ask you to approach each encounter with caution and respect, and never to presume we have any control over their appearance or actions whatsoever. These whale sharks favour our encounters with curiosity and much tolerance.
Your Crew will brief and assist you throughout the day with information about the Whale Sharks: sex, behaviour, feeding patterns, how to take photos and more. They will also instruct you on how to best approach and swim with the Whale Sharks so that your encounter with the world’s largest fish is a truly memorable one.
We reserve the right to alter or cancel specific dives/tours/courses without notice due to weather, sea conditions, minimum numbers or other factors. We always recommend that you travel with flexibility in your itinerary and with travel insurance – please contact your local travel agent for details on the best travel insurance for your travel needs.

Surrounded by an abundance of coral gardens, rocky ledges and intriguing dive sites, the Muiron Islands are located about 10nm north east of Exmouth. Keep your eyes open during the 45 minute trip across to the Islands for ospreys, shearwaters, turtles, manta rays, dolphins, dugongs, and during their migration, humpback whales.
We have a wide range of dive sites with a maximum depth of 20m and usually only gentle currents, the dive sites around the Muiron Islands are suitable for all levels of snorkelers and divers. Swim-throughs and ledges provide plenty of places to search for shrimps, nudibranchs, eels, juvenile angelfish and other timid creatures. In mid-water and against the reefs look for friendly potato cod, large rankin cod, turtles, nurse sharks, soft coral gardens, anemones, clams and 1000’s of darting, colourful reef fish. Late in the year, manta rays grace several of our dive sites, too.
Included;
- A fresh buffet lunch, drinks and snacks
- High quality snorkel equipment
- Experienced crew to guide you on your adventure!
- Complementary transfers from accommodation in Exmouth.
