About this spot

Nursery Bommie sits within the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area, one of the world's most biodiverse marine ecosystems. The site offers consistent diving throughout the year, making it accessible to divers planning trips at any season. The coral here shows no signs of bleaching stress, indicating robust health and vibrant growth that supports the site's diverse animal life. The bommie structure provides varied habitats for reef inhabitants. Twelve recorded species observations document the underwater community here, from macro critters to larger pelagics. Three community-contributed videos give prospective divers a window into what to expect underwater—real conditions, real encounters. Because Nursery Bommie lies inside the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, all diving is subject to zoning and permit regulations. These protections preserve the reef's ecological function and ensure the site remains productive for future visitors. Before booking, check current access rules and any area-specific requirements with your dive operator.
