Acerca de Fraggle Rock
Fraggle Rock es un arrecife de las Poor Knights al que solo se accede en barco, en el área de Labrid Channel, conocido por sus paredes rocosas en pendiente, salientes cubiertas de kelp y un circuito fácil de seguir cuando las condiciones están tranquilas. Por lo general se bucea por su relieve y su vida marina más que por un pasaje llamativo para nadar a través, y los pliegues de la roca, el crecimiento de algas y el agua azul clara lo convierten en un contraste más silencioso frente a los arcos más conocidos de los alrededores. Los buceadores pueden esperar ver pargos, lábridos, anguilas, peces escorpión, nudibranquios y alguna raya ocasional alrededor del arrecife, sobre todo cuando bajan el ritmo y exploran las grietas y los bordes de kelp. El clima mar adentro sigue siendo importante aquí, pero en días tranquilos Fraggle Rock suele considerarse una parada escénica relajada dentro de un itinerario en barco por las Poor Knights.
