About this dive site

This dive site offers a fascinating underwater experience within a rocky environment. Accessing the site can be challenging due to potentially rough seas, so it's crucial to assess conditions beforehand. A good entry point is located down a track onto a rock platform leading to a small inlet. The area is characterized by numerous boulders and rock walls, providing habitat for diverse marine life. You’ll likely encounter balls of Catfish, Wobbegongs, Bream, Cuttlefish, Moray eels, and Old wives. Weedy sea dragons are a major highlight here, along with the opportunity to spot Pygmy pipe horses. A wide variety of nudibranchs and soft corals, including Feather duster worms, ascidians, and various coral species, contribute to the rich biodiversity. Visibility is expected to be good in favorable conditions.
