Hope Point
★★★★☆
(31)
Stunning walls and pinnacle with depths beyond 50m for those trained to explore. A Kelpy encrusted reef closer to the surface and plenty to see for those staying shallow. As it is on the eastern side of the islands it isn’t often dived, so go if you can.
Packhorse crayfish, Shoaling fish - Pink Mao Mao, Blue Mao Mao, Snapper. On the wall Moray and Conger eels, nudibranchs and starfish. Remember to look out into the blue.
