Yellow Sponge Garden
★★★★☆
(64)
Yellow Sponge Garden is found by heading in a West to North Westerly direction from the shore of the reserve. The sponges are first spotted at around the 8-9m depth mark. The tall kelp stalks leading up to the site are dusty and the ledges will drop off onto sponge bearing sandy patches.
Sponges are slow growing and very delicate. Some species of sponges can live for over 100 years! Please watch your buoyancy and where your fins are kicking.
