About Peter’s Rock (Cone Rock)
Peter’s Rock (Cone Rock) is a coastal rock pinnacle off South Bay. Divers typically circle the rugged pinnacle walls and boulder faces, using the crevices as natural reference points. The cracks shelter kōura (crayfish) and other native coastal fish, and dolphins are often seen at the surface nearby. Access is by a short boat ride from the South Bay marina, so trips are planned as boat dives.
