About this dive site

This dive site is famous for its large underwater rock ledge and cavern, which serves as a critical habitat for a significant population of Grey Nurse Sharks. Divers can reliably observe these majestic sharks resting in the gutter, especially during the winter months. The site also features abundant fish life, including Giant Cuttlefish, Weedy Seadragons, and large Blue Gropers.
