Christmas Island Wet'n'Dry Adventures
Christmas Island has a narrow fringing reef with a steep, spectacular drop-off 50 - 200m from the cliff-bound shore. There are two distinct seasons: the dry or "trades" from April to November with winds coming from the south and south east; and the wet or "swell" season from November to April with winds coming from the north west. This affects access to dive sites, with the north and west coasts more accessible during the dry season and sites on the east only accessible in the wet.
The fact that the island rises dramatically from the ocean floor contributes to the endless kilometres of "drop-off" walls. Divers and snorkellers alike can enjoy a variety of locations and there are sites to suit every level of experience.
Whale sharks visit the island generally from October to April but have been seen outside these months. They can be seen in Flying Fish Cove as well as the dive sites near crab migration sites, mostly along the north coast. There are large schools of spinner dolphins seen year-round and sometimes pilot whales in August-September and manta rays that seem to appear around the same time as the whale sharks, presumably to feed on the red crab larvae.
Christmas Island Wet'n'Dry Adventures has operated on Christmas Island since 1994.

Goodbye Cocos. Hello Christmas Island!
- We waved goodbye to the crew from Cocos (Keeling) Islands until our arms hurt. We were a bit sad to leave everybody behind, but also excited about what was going to come. After only an hour the plane started to descend again and we could see Christmas Island. It was very clear straight away that Christmas Island is geologically very different from the Cocos (Keeling) Islands.
