BUSSELTON GUIDED TOUR FIELD GUIDE
Wright's Bank: Pinnacle Depths and Blue‑Water Giants off Cape Naturaliste
A 5.5‑hour, operator‑led advanced dive from Quindalup Boat Ramp that takes experienced divers to a 18–35 m pinnacle alive with unique corals and large pelagic life, offered only once a month.
Wright's Bank: Pinnacle Depths and Blue‑Water Giants off Cape Naturaliste.
Wright's Bank sits off the tip of Cape Naturaliste as a towering underwater pinnacle—an advanced dive playground where bright fanning corals give way to open water and large schools of pelagic fish. At depths between 18 and 35 metres the site reveals marine life and reef forms not commonly seen elsewhere in the South West, and Swan Dive runs this exclusive trip only once a month.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Deep, advanced dives to 35 m
Wright's Bank offers deep dive options down to about 35 metres and is suitable for technical or advanced profiles—this is not a shallow recreational drift.
A towering pinnacle at Cape Naturaliste
The site is defined by a dramatic pinnacle rising from deeper water; the structure hosts an array of corals and creatures that distinguish it from other South West dive locations.
Large schools and blue‑water giants
Divers can expect to encounter large schools of pelagic fish and the occasional blue‑water giants that pass through the site—an attraction that helps make this a rare monthly offering.
What the day feels like
What the dive feels like
This is an advanced, focused outing: a short boat run from the ramp, two substantive dives around a towering pinnacle and long sightlines where pelagic life congregates. Depth, current and open‑water exposure create a blue‑water ambiance around the pinnacle that rewards experienced divers with encounters that differ from other regional sites.
