(353)
Located off Townsville, Keeper Reef offers a wonderful dive for those that love to explore healthy coral gardens. Going no more than 16 metres, it is easy to get lost at this dive site as the coral gardens are divided by ridges and bommies, creating a coral maze.
Divers will see schools of fusiliers, coral trout, rabbitfish, batfish, turtles, whitetip reef sharks, sweetlips and barramundi cod. Home to crayfish, rock cods, squirrelfish and shrimp.
