About Post Office Rock

Post Office Rock is a near‑coastal rocky reef in Fiordland known for colourful kelp and abundant reef life. The dive follows a gentle slope from kelp‑covered rock down toward a sandy bottom, making the route easy to read. Reef fish are common and occasional seven gill sharks are reported among the kelp and rocks. Plan a relaxed, gradual profile that matches the sloping terrain and keeps an eye out for larger visitors.
