of flat rock with numerous sites to suit experience and
weather conditions. In the summer months leopard sharks
and shovelnose guitarfish can be seen all around while
in winter grey nurse sharks like to take up residence.

Grey
nurse sharks love this place in the winter, sometimes
up to 16 sharks can be seen in a single encounter. The
alley bottoms out around 25m so requires some experience
to dive down alongside the sharks but novices can still
view the graceful beauties from the ledges 18m above the
alley. One of those dive sites that you need your camera
for.

The
best diving is around the small caves in 14 - 24m where
turtles and the large wobbegongs swim. A deeper site for
the more adventurous and requires a reasonable level of
experience. Everything from bull rays to pygmy mantarays
cruise in the currents to make it one of the best drift
dives you will ever do.

Shore dives should not proceed if wave action height exceeds
0.8 metres. There is good snorkelling at Snorkellers Spit
where you can see coral. Scuba diving commences along
the steep rock wall of the Headlands and travels out to
the Catherderal and End Bommies. South Gorge is well known
for its turtles, shovel nose rays and manta rays (Feb
- Apr).

Shag
Rock offers a variety of sites to suit all conditions
and levels of experience. Dive training can take place
in the calm shallows surrounded by schools of fish while
experienced certified divers can play in the swim through
and cruse effortlessly around the rock while watching
octopus being chased by angelfish or eagle rays gliding
over head. If you’re into photography then Shag
Rock is a macro paradise with plenty of anemones, fish
and shrimp and when you look up carefully nudibranches
galore. Shag Rock also accommodates large schools of batfish,
fusilers, pomfrets and more porcupine fish than you can
poke a stick at. In the summer months it is common to
see leopard sharks and large rays just hanging out on
the sand patches while hawksbill and small loggerhead
turtles stay all year round in the sheltered waters.
