Nurses Quarters
★★★★☆
(51)
Located 1km west of Rottnest Island, the Nurses Quarters dive site includes the famous “Shark Cave.“ From the reef, the main cave drops to 26m of water and usually hosts a group of grey nurse sharks. Only trained divers with the appropriate certification should enter the cave.
Port Jackson sharks and wobbegongs can be spotted around the swim-through on the reef. After those, the main attraction are the Grey Nurse Sharks.
