Additional Infos
 
 This is known to be one of the top 10 dive sites of Australia. This dive starts at 24m deep on the Southeastern side where there is a cave entrance. The cave enter the rock and runs for about 15 metres then rises vertically into a chimney where torches are needed. Often Wobbegongs and Crayfish are lining the walls and floor. The cave then levels out to a large dark chamber where occasionally Grey Nurse sharks can cruise along. Other various schools of fish crise the area creating large swarms. Spanish Dancers can be seen. There are 2 bubble caves within the horizontal section of the cave. The cave then exits to a section known as the aquarium where various tropical and coldwater fish meet. Divers should be aware as there can be a very strong current when exiting the aquarium section.
The cave length is approximately 130m.
