Recent coral bleaching has significantly impacted many reefs along Western Australia’s coast, including areas of the Dampier Archipelago. At Pilbara Dive and Tours, we are committed to protecting these fragile ecosystems while continuing to share their beauty with our guests.

We will continue to operate our tours; however, we are mindful of the pressure on these fragile ecosystems. As part of our experiences, we will be focusing on educating our guests about coral bleaching, the effects of the 2025 marine heatwave and how we can all help protect the marine environment.
