Enterprise

Enterprise is a magnificent dive site situated in the pristine waters of Australia's Cocos (Keeling) Islands. This site offers an incredible underwater experience for both beginner and advanced divers. With a remarkable visibility of 40m and a maximum depth of 29m, this dive site is a must-visit for diving enthusiasts.

One of the highlights of Enterprise is the large bommie located on the edge of a dramatic drop-off. Thanks to the incoming tide, there is a significant upwelling phenomenon that nourishes a thriving food chain. This results in an abundance of marine life, creating a captivating environment for divers.

For more experienced divers, there is an opportunity to navigate down the wall and briefly explore a small cave. Here, regular sightings of grey reef sharks and dog tooth tuna patrolling the wall add an exhilarating touch to the dive. At the end of the dive, keep an eye out for the impressive large groupers that can often be spotted on the bommie. Additionally, the presence of schooling paddle tails adds to the excitement underwater.

If you are a fan of macro diving, Enterprise has something for you too. On a nearby ridge, you can observe the graceful pipefish gliding through the water, providing a delightful encounter for macro enthusiasts.

To fully experience the wonders of this dive site, make sure to visit Enterprise during your diving adventure in the Cocos (Keeling) Islands. The combination of its stunning natural surroundings, diverse marine life, and optimal diving conditions make Enterprise a true gem for divers of all skill levels.
