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. Read this safety information about swimming, fishing, paddling, kayaking, snorkelling and diving. Consider travelling with a personal location beacon (PLB). In the event you need to be rescued it could save your life!
- Scuba diving and snorkelling have claimed lives and divers should never become complacent about safe diving practices.
- Swimming into caverns and under ledges can be hazardous.
- Check daily weather conditions before entering the water.
Take care to avoid boat traffic and be sure to tow a dive flag.
