Dive Spot Guide•
Barry’s Pool
Outer-reef wall with coral cover and blue-water action.
Local operator required
Barry’s Pool is normally dived by local boat charter rather than as an independent shore site.
Usually dived by boat as a more exposed wall site, with the best runs in manageable sea state when the shallower reef top is comfortable to finish across.
About Barry’s Pool
Barry’s Pool is an outer-reef wall dive in the Cocos Keeling Islands where strong coral cover, sea fans, and open blue-water edges make it feel more adventurous than the islands' easier lagoon-style reefs. Divers usually work the wall for passing pelagics and then, in calmer conditions, finish over the shallower reef top for a gentler end to the dive.

Local Intel For Barry’s Pool
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
The main dive follows a coral-covered wall with open-water marine-life potential before a possible finish over the shallower reef top.
Freediving
Barry's Pool is better known as a scuba wall dive than as a routine freedive training site because of the exposed profile and deeper wall section.
Snorkeling
Barry’s Pool is primarily a scuba site because the exposed wall profile is less forgiving for casual surface visits.
