About This Dive Spot
Bird Rock is a prominent underwater feature located off Cape Brett, with walls that descend to depths of 30 to 40 meters. The site is frequented by fur seals during the winter months, which may interact with divers. It is advisable for divers to have experience due to the potential for strong currents in the area. Marine life includes moray eels and crayfish that can be found hiding in the rock's crevices, while the currents attract schooling fish and kingfish.
