About this dive site

This dive site is famous for its dramatic underwater landscape of massive boulders creating numerous swim-throughs and overhangs. It offers a classic Sydney temperate water experience with a high diversity of invertebrate and fish life. The site's name is a misnomer, as encounters with large pelagic sharks are rare.
