Shallow Pier Dive (3-4m depending on tide) best dived after a few days of northerly winds.
Plentiful of life on the pylons and in the seagrass. Some of the 'residents' are Bullrays and Eaglerays, Morwongs, Goatfish and Cowfish to name just a few. Lots of macro life around too and for those with good eyes the occasional pipefish can be spotted in the seagrass-beds. The site is best known though for the abundance of Weedy Seadragons. Even in near zero visibility it would be impossible to miss them :D
