Pro Dive Magnetic Island

Alma Bay has a shallow fringing reef on both the left and right sides. Gentle sloping, sandy bottom with very little water movement. The maximum depth is 9m with an average depth around 5m.

Our preferred reef for day trips is Lodestone Reef, chosen for its diversity of sites, great coral cover, fish life and reasonable protection. We have a number of sites around this reef and will choose the best site on the day. Some sites feature large coral bommies with white coral sand sea floors, others have large gutters running through the coral occupied by hundreds of reef fish, and colorful coral walls occupied by innumerable marine animals in crystal clear water.

Lodestone reef is the closest reef to Townsville being only just over an hour via boat. Depths range from 3m to 45m so it caters for all types of divers and snorkelers. Visibility is usually around 5 - 20m depending on weather.

Exceptional coral cover and home of the spectacular Museum of Underwater Art (#MOUA)
