About this dive site
Wolf Rock is a truly exceptional dive site located off the coast of Australia. It's consistently ranked among the world’s best and is a must-dive for any East Coast traveler seeking incredible marine encounters. Daily dives are focused on this remarkable location. The site features four impressive volcanic pinnacles, covered in vibrant hard and soft corals, creating a thriving ecosystem teeming with life. You can expect to see an astounding array of animals, including critically endangered grey nurse sharks, giant Queensland gropers (as large as the sharks themselves!), eagle rays, bull rays, manta rays, leopard sharks, and three different species of sea turtle – loggerhead, green, and hawksbill turtles. During winter months, a spectacular annual whale migration provides an unforgettable experience. Divers can witness these majestic creatures breaching, tail slapping, and waving their pectoral fins, all while listening to their haunting songs resonating underwater—sometimes so loud they vibrate through your chest! The smaller inhabitants of the reef – nudibranchs, octopus, various fish species, crabs, sea stars, and wobbegong sharks – add further richness to this diverse environment. The site offers an immersive experience for those who enjoy exploring a complex and thriving marine ecosystem.
