Have a look at the entry/exit before gearing up because the seas can make this spot hard to get in and out of. Assuming the seas are favourable, a good entry point is down the track onto the rock platform, where you will find in a small inlet. With many boulders and rock walls, you should find balls of Catfish, Wobbegongs, Bream, Cuttlefish, Moray eels and Old wives. Weedy sea dragons are the star of the show here as well as the chance to see Pygmy pipe horses. You will also see Nudibranches-a-plenty and lots of soft life such as Feather duster worms, ascidians and a range of corals.

I have never seen so many moray eels in one dive! Easy entry and exit is a definite plus. Lovely spot to have a picnic in between dives too. Loved looking under all the rocky ledges to find big wobbys and octopus.
