Coffs Harbour sits within the Solitary Islands Marine Park, where warm northerly currents and cooler southern waters converge, producing a broad mix of tropical and temperate species on the same reef. Both sites in the database, Coral Gardens and Split Solitary Island, are boat-access reef dives with drop-off sections, covering a moderate depth range suited to beginners and intermediates. Divers record grey nurse sharks, whale sharks, spotted wobbegongs, and green sea turtles alongside nudibranchs, scorpionfish, morwong, and kingfish. Visibility can be highly variable, ranging from a few metres to well over thirty on a good day.
