Cairns, Australia
In Cairns, you'll find two large deep bommies located just off the main reef system. The main reef rises to the surface, with shallow sand beginning at 5 meters and gradually sloping down until it reaches a steeper drop-off at 30 meters. The deep bommie, also known as the "cigar," is abundant with marine life and frequently visited by pelagic species. The shallower bommie, called "Turtle bommie," is adorned with anemones and surrounded by a sandy slope teeming with garden eels.
