Visibility varies between 10 and 60 metres, requiring careful monitoring of depth gauges to remain within recreational limits. Access to this site is exclusively by boat. Due to the significant depth, this site is best suited for intermediate divers who can manage their buoyancy and depth profiles effectively. Ensure all gear is secured before the boat moves to the site.

Big Broadhurst Reef is a coral reef located 70 kilometres offshore in the Townsville region. The site features brain and acropora coral formations, with depths ranging from 6 to 30 metres. It is accessible only by boat, which drops divers directly over the reef. The site is suitable for beginners, though moderate currents can strengthen, particularly in deeper sections. Divers should remain aware of their surroundings, as sharks and jellyfish are present. Water temperatures fluctuate between 24C and 29C throughout the year. Always check local conditions for current strength before entering the water, as it can change quickly.

Little Broadhurst Reef, located near Big Broadhurst Reef, features a combination of reef and wall topography. The site offers depths ranging from 5 to 40 metres, with an average depth of 20 metres. Access is by boat only, situated 60 kilometres from the shore. Divers encounter moderate currents and visibility between 10 and 30 metres. The site is suitable for beginners, though caution is advised regarding sharp coral, potential entanglement, and strong currents.
