This deep (24–33m) drift dive is a sanctuary for grey nurse sharks—often 40 or more, sometimes over 100. Wobbegongs, eagle rays, turtles, and black cod are also common. Suitable for advanced scuba divers due to depth and strong currents. A shark lover’s dream.

2. Latitude Rock

At 10–18m, this vibrant reef features sponge gardens, kelp beds, and plenty of marine life including blue gropers, Port Jackson sharks, and wobbegongs. Ideal for photographers and all dive levels. Clear, sunlit waters offer perfect conditions for freediving.

3. Idol Bay

A kelp-covered reef with excellent macro opportunities and sandy areas that attract rays, turtles, kingfish, and the occasional shark. Great for intermediate divers and underwater photographers seeking diversity in both reef and pelagic life.

4. The Grotto (Big Seal Rock)

From February to May, divers can witness huge gatherings of grey nurse sharks. Great visibility and dramatic underwater landscapes make this advanced dive unforgettable. Explore nearby Eastern Gutters and Big Seal Rock Reef in one trip.
