Deb Ferguson, owner-operator of Exmouth Dive & Whalesharks in Ningaloo, Western Australia, talks reefs, wildlife and next year's rare solar eclipse.
Western Australia's Ningaloo region is unique, remote and untouched. With many of the modern comforts of a major destination; great restaurants, cafes and micro-breweries, without the big city hype.

Our fringing reef allows visitors to pop on a snorkel and swim out from the coastline, while small boat excursions (usually accommodating no more than 10 passengers) allows for a more personalised reef experience.
