Broccoli Patch
Shallow sandy reef for easy Cocos check and training dives.
Local operator required
Broccoli Patch is normally dived by local boat operator rather than as an independent shore site.
Usually dived by boat in gentle conditions, with a sandy bottom and forgiving reef layout that make first dives and buoyancy work straightforward.
About Broccoli Patch
Broccoli Patch is one of the easier reef dives in the Cocos Keeling Islands, built around a shallow sandy bottom, scattered coral, and a gentle profile that works well for check dives, training, and relaxed photography. It is commonly chosen when divers want calm water, simple buoyancy control, and the chance of turtles, reef sharks, or dolphins without committing to a more exposed wall site.
