About This Dive Spot

Danger Rock features a northern slope that descends to 18 meters, leading to a pinnacle at 9 meters before dropping further to depths of 45 and 50 meters, where boulders are present. This area can experience strong currents. On the western side, two pinnacles emerge from a depth of 30 meters, creating a narrow canyon that divers can navigate through. The site is known for its diverse marine life, including nudibranchs, invertebrates, kingfish, trevally, and scorpionfish.
