About this dive site

This dive site is a popular natural rock pool protected from the ocean by a limestone reef, creating exceptionally calm and safe conditions. It's renowned for its interesting topography of ledges, small caves, and swim-throughs that house a high density of juvenile fish. The easy access and shallow depth make it one of Perth's best locations for snorkelers, freedivers, and beginner scuba divers.
