Latitude Rock sticks a few metres out of the water. The topography above the water is pretty well replicated underwater. Depending on the time of year (and your luck) there can be plenty of grey nurse sharks about (24 April, 2010 - there were loads of sharks about). Several dive shops depart from Forster, Nick at Forster Dive Centre is who I dive with.

Montague Island is situated about 9km offshore from Narooma. Couple of operators leave Narooma to go out to Montague Island. The reason to dive here is to dive with the Australian Fur Seals. They're here all year round, but are most abundant in Spring. It isn't considered a breeding colony at present but more pups are being born each year.
