Julian Rocks

This dive site is located at Julian Rocks, traditionally known as Nguthungulli, and formed by a volcanic eruption over 20 million years ago off Cape Byron. It's now part of the Cape Byron Marine Park, featuring a diverse underwater landscape including caves, walls, pinnacles, trenches, and numerous rock formations. The waters here are unique due to a mix of warm tropical and cool temperate currents, supporting an impressive biodiversity. Over 1000 marine species inhabit Julian Rocks, encompassing more than 500 fish – both tropical and temperate – alongside the rare leopard shark and a vast array of invertebrates including corals. Notably, exquisite long fronds black coral can be found in the deeper sections surrounding the rocks. This location offers an exciting dive experience for those interested in exploring complex underwater structures and encountering a wide variety of marine life.
