Heron Island - North Bombie

★★★★☆ (68)

Named after the large bommie that is the main feature of this dive. North bommie is covered in glass and cardinal fish that are harassed all day by dozens of coral trout, coral cod and barramundi cod.

This bommie is a major cleaning station for that area of the reef and you will see large manta rays and turtles.
