Two Ridges
Boat-access Cocos reef site with clear water, coral ridges, and marine life.
Local operator required
Boat access runs through the local Cocos operator.
Two parallel coral ridges and a deeper wall make this a classic Cocos boat dive, with clear water and a marine-life-heavy profile that rewards careful multi-level planning.
About Two Ridges
Two Ridges is a boat-access reef site on the Cocos (Keeling) Islands built around two parallel coral ridges with a gully between them and a deeper wall beyond the ridges. The site is a clear-water tropical dive with strong coral structure and regular big-animal appeal, including dugongs, manta rays, and other larger reef visitors.
