About this place
Boyinabout Reef is in a sanctuary (no take) zone in about six meters of water at the southern end of a chain of inshore reefs.
It is just 100m from the sea wall of Hillarys Boat Harbour and its ease of access and beauty have made it one of the most popular dive sites in Perth.
Safety information
Plan when to visit. Consider travelling with a personal location beacon (PLB). In the event you need to be rescued it could save your life!
