Fish Slate: A Dugong’s Favourite Dining Spot

If there’s one dive site in Neil Island that keeps everyone—divers, snorkelers, and even dugongs—coming back for more, it’s Fish Slate. This shallow fringing reef starts at just 4 metres, making it an ideal spot for beginners, pros, and anyone who just loves being underwater. But what truly sets Fish Slate apart? Between February and May, lucky divers often get front-row seats to dugongs gently cruising the reef, munching on seagrass like island royalty. 

Fish Slate lives up to its name; you’ll need a full slate (and maybe a backup) to note the fish you meet here. From many species of butterflyfish and fusiliers to massive groupers and cheeky octopus, the reef is bustling. The vast landscape of corals make it a thriving home for reef life and a vibrant backdrop for your dive. It’s beautiful. It’s beginner-friendly. It’s bursting with life. Fish Slate isn’t just a dive site, it’s a living postcard of Neil Island’s marine richness.
