Fishing, boating and diving
Diving with whalesharks.
Christmas Island offers spectacular underwater wonders for visitors to explore, with coral reefs, tropical fish and a precipitous drop-off which plunges into the abyss. Dolphins and whalesharks are common visitors to some of the diving spots. There is excellent fishing, with Sailfish, Tuna and Wahoo among some of the biggest fish to be caught.
Snorkelling and Scuba Diving
The clear, warm water and diverse marine life offers excellent opportunities for diving. Snorkelling locations such as Flying Fish Cove, Ethel Beach, Dolly Beach, West White Beach, and Winifred Beach offer scuba divers and snorkellers a rewarding diving experience.
During heavy seas, beaches can be subject to large waves, strong rips and undertows. No beach on the island is patrolled by lifesavers. Please use commonsense when swimming or wading at any beach on the island.
Boat Ramps
There are boat ramps at Flying Fish Cove and Ethel Beach.
