Air Date: 28 June 2025

Christmas Island is a remote natural paradise where lush rainforests meet vibrant coral reefs, offering year-round diving in crystal-clear waters teeming with marine life—and the perfect post-dive refreshment from a freshly picked island coconut.

• Christmas Island is a wild and untouched haven, famed for its dramatic coastline, lush rainforests, and extraordinary wildlife—including the world-renowned annual red crab migration.
• With vibrant coral reefs and over 680 species of fish, the island is a dream for snorkellers and divers. Its fringing reef lies directly along the shore, plunging steeply into the deep blue.
• The island’s main bay, Flying Fish Cove, offers some of the richest marine biodiversity in the region—around 90% of the island’s species can be spotted here.
• The warm, crystal-clear waters remain a balmy 26–28°C with excellent visibility all year, making diving accessible for all ages and skill levels.
• Dive highlights include lionfish, moray eels, giant clams, brain coral, and countless tropical species thriving on the narrow reef shelf.
• After your underwater adventure, cool off with a fresh island coconut from Custards Coconuts—Christmas Island’s own tropical twist on post-dive rehydration.
