If sprawling is necessary, the athlete follows through with a dive or a roll and quickly regains a standing position.

Exmouth is also a great base from where you can scuba dive and snorkel the World Heritage-listed Ningaloo Reef Marine Park. Scuba diving is one of those incredible pleasures where you get to explore the little-known underwater world. And off the tip of the North West Cape of the Murion Islands where you can enjoy an abundance of marine life and coral, Exmouth Diving Center will take you out to these islands to spend a day and do a couple of dives or snorkels.
So we're at the jetty now. The boat's over there, and we're about to board. So it's about a 45-minute trip out there. And I'm looking forward to getting into the water. See you there!
The boat trip out there gives you a lot of time to get ready. And during the whale season, you may even have a few visitors pop up along the long way.
Well, we've just arrived at the Murion Islands for our first dive. So it's a 16-meter dive. So we're just getting kitted up. And we'll see you down there.
My dive computer on, I'm nearly ready.
OK, all kitted out-- in I go. Welcome to the Murions!
The average visibility here is about 10 meters. And most of the diving is done to a maximum depth of 20 meters. So it is suitable for all levels of divers.
If you're not a certified diver but would still love to see the reef, then you can do one of their snorkeling tours instead. And even if you've never snorkeled before, the crew take the time to share some tips with you and get you out in the water.
Getting into the water on the Ningaloo Reef is something I would definitely recommend. Whether you're snorkeling or diving, this place really is special.
