About This Dive Spot

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.
