How Hot is this Dive Site? click a star to rate it
The dive site consists of two large boulder rocks placed side by side. In the narrow gap between them you can find Hinge-Beak Shrimp and Cleaner Pipefish (Dunckerocampus janssi). The visibility can be poor here so it's really a site for small macro critters. I doesn't take long to go around the rocks, so if you want you can head West and cross over to the "Shark Point" dive site. Sea temp in May is 29c
