About this dive site
This dive site is located near Great Keppel Island, specifically to the northeast of a set of islands known as Man and Wife rocks. This area presents an exposed diving environment, but a mooring buoy is available on the western side for anchoring. The surrounding reef offers diverse underwater landscapes. To the southeast, you'll find large bommies (coral heads), while extending to the northeast are points with abundant coral formations and a rich variety of fish life. A shallow reef passage connects the two islands; however, diving through this pass depends on current conditions. Several sections along the walls provide opportunities for impressive wall dives. Visibility is variable, but potential exists for stunning underwater views.
