Gotham City features a massive granite monolith rising from the seabed — 15 metres tall, 40 metres long and 25 metres wide, with dramatic sheer walls dropping away on all sides. Many divers liken their first glimpse of it to a miniature underwater Uluru. As daylight fades and the night dive begins, this site truly comes alive with colour, movement and mystery.
