Lady Musgrave reef diving is run as guided boat access from day-tour vessels and reef infrastructure rather than as an independent shore dive.
Entrance Bommies is a coral-bommie dive at the lagoon entrance where large reef towers hold schools of baitfish above healthy hard coral growth. It is a straightforward Lady Musgrave boat dive that mixes colourful structure with the chance of larger reef visitors working the edge of the bait.
