#expeditioncruising .


The 12-passenger charter vessel, MV Diversity II, en route to Broome to commence its March 2023 dry season tours, has become stuck on a reef off Greens Island within the Jurien Bay Marine Park. The Australian Maritime Safety Authority is conducting an investigation into the cause of the grounding, and Diversity Charters, the boat's operator, is working to minimize disruption to their services. This incident adds to the challenges faced by the Kimberley tourism industry, which has been reeling from various disruptions since 2020.

Update: The vessel was later salvaged. For updates, see Diversity Charters
