Acerca de Hideaway Bay
Hideaway Bay, también conocida como Dutchman's Cove, es un sitio compacto de las islas Poor Knights donde un arrecife inclinado y nudoso se curva hacia una inmersión corta por pared y canal dentro de una bahía más resguardada. Es apto para buceadores que quieren un terreno variado sin comprometerse con la costa exterior totalmente expuesta, y los peces de arrecife, las rayas, los nudibranquios y los encuentros invernales con focas le dan al sitio gran parte de su carácter.
