Plongée à Ningaloo Reef — Australia
Ningaloo is the world's largest fringing reef — 260km of coral accessible directly from shore. Whale sharks congregate from March to July following coral spawning, and humpback whales pass through from August to November. Unlike the Great Barrier Reef, you can walk straight in from the beach and be on pristine coral within minutes.
