Fish Rock Cave

★★★★☆ (1,252)

Fish Rock Cave is the only true ocean cave dive in Australia, running 125 meters right through Fish Rock. Fish Rock is in the path of the EAC (East Australian Current) which usually floods the site with warm clear water, bringing a huge variety of temperate and tropical marine species.

You can expect to see a plethora of marine life. Most days you will see 20-30 Grey Nurse Sharks and more Wobbegong sharks than you can count plus multiple species of Turtles and Rays.
