Simpson Rock
★★★★★
(6)
A sea pinnacle. Small exposed area of the rock which continues its steep shape underwater until around 20-30 meters where it has a small platform. At the edge of the platform, it drops off to 60 + meters. Roughly 20-30 minutes to circle the rock underwater. Extremely exposed to currents and rough sea conditions.
Very fishy, large fish schools of New Zealand demoiselle. With warmer water conditions, similar sighting as the Poor Knights are possible, such as Manta Rays.
