Carters Rock
★★★★☆
(65)
Carters Rock is only accessible by boat and is a shallow, rocky kelp reef with a maximum depth of 10m. Kelp runs along the bouldery slope to about 7m where it then turns into a white sandy bottom. Another good site for entry-level diver training.
Kelp fish including, wrasse, bass, pollack and their juvenile forms are often seen here. Also catsharks, crustaceans, nudibranchs, and seals can be spotted.
