About The Sisters
The Sisters are a pair of offshore rocks off Cape Brett that form a compact canyon-style dive. One side drops quickly into boulder-strewn water while the inshore line is a little easier to read, but the site still suits experienced boat divers. Current and surge can reshape the dive, and the rocks usually hold schooling fish, nudibranchs, perch, scorpionfish and the occasional shark.

Freediving
Not a practical freedive target because the site is deep and current-sensitive.
