Blue Pearl Bay - Whitsunday Islands Dive Site
Blue Pearl Bay is a popular site for scuba diving and snorkelling. Located on the Northwestern coast of Hayman Island about 32 kilometres from Airlie Beach, Blue Pearl Bay can be quite an exciting dive. Often visited by schools of mantaray and with a diverse array of swim throughs and large bommies, Blue Pearl is also well protected from the prevailing south easterly winds but is not very comfortable when the northerlies are blowing.

corals with some plates. Coral trout under plates, slatey
