Crystal Palace
Rottnest Island, WA
About Crystal Palace
The site sits on the outer reef terrace with depths from 8 metres on the reef top to 18 metres in the chambers below. Light shafts cut through openings in the limestone ceiling and large schools of bullseyes and old wives shelter inside. The Leeuwin Current pushes tropical species south, so divers regularly see fish more typical of Ningaloo alongside endemic temperate residents. Boat access only from Rottnest moorings or Fremantle charters.
Visibility at Crystal Palace
Visibility at Crystal Palace typically ranges from 10 to 20 metres, though it shifts with swell, wind and recent rainfall. December to April generally offers the best conditions for diving here.
