Gotham City features a massive granite monolith rising from the seabed — 15 metres tall, 40 metres long and 25 metres wide, with dramatic sheer walls dropping away on all sides.

Flinders Reef Widely regarded as one of the best dive sites in the region, Flinders Reef delivers on every level. Explore walls, gutters, caves and pinnacles bursting with life, home to over 100 coral species including staghorn, brain and plate corals, plus vibrant soft corals, gorgonians and sponges. Expect encounters with over 175 species of reef fish, along with invertebrates, stingrays, wobbegong sharks and even the occasional manta ray.
