The island's commitment to preserving its marine environment also enhances the snorkelling and diving experience, with eco-friendly practices that protect the fragile ecosystem. Whether exploring vibrant coral gardens or drifting alongside schools of fish, snorkelling and diving on Norfolk Island promises a memorable, immersive adventure in one of the Pacific’s most beautiful and untouched aquatic destinations.

Norfolk Island’s dive sites cater to all levels, from beginners to advanced divers, with guided tours available to ensure safety and maximize the experience. The most popular sites include:
