About This Dive Spot
The Sisters is a prominent rock formation located off Cape Brett, characterized by a split that creates a narrow canyon at a depth of 10 meters. The seaward side of this canyon descends to depths exceeding 40 meters, while the inland side reaches down to 30 meters. Divers should be aware of potentially strong currents at this site. The currents attract a variety of schooling fish, and divers may encounter nudibranchs such as Gem, Clown, and Febelinas. Other marine life includes Splendid Perch, Scorpionfish, Kingfish, and the occasional shark.
