Lying close to shore off Fingal Head in the Pacific Ocean, Cook Island is an accessible and appealing dive site on the Gold Coast. Hard and soft corals cover the bottom in some areas; in others, boulders form walls and caves descending to the sandy sea floor. 

You'll find an interesting mix of reef and pelagic fish; pufferfish, gropers, surgeonfish, anemonefish, leatherjackets, parrotfish, trevally, bullseyes and sweetlips. Macro-photographers will find plenty of subjects. Stingrays, turtles, wobbegongs and blind sharks, Leopard sharks abound in summer.

There are two distinct sides of the island that offer multiple moorings, making it highly adaptable to meet challenging conditions and provide immense diversity.

Some of the sites are:

• North Wall
• Turtle Nursery
• Mary's Rock
• Coral Gardens

There are plenty of other sites nearby, including:

• Fido's Reef
• Nine Mile Reef
• Boulders
• Alberta Wreck
• Kingscliff Pinnacles
