Dive-site story
Located off North Keppel Island within the Keppel Bay Islands National Park, this offshore rocky formation consists of two distinct granite outcrops emerging from the seafloor. Divers navigate a varied terrain of coral-encrusted boulder fields, narrow gutters, and scattered bommies that attract Southern Great Barrier Reef marine life. Tidal exchange brings plankton-rich waters through the passage, drawing pelagic species alongside resident reef dwellers.
Granite boulder formations draped in soft corals and hard plate corals
Frequent encounters with resting wobbegong sharks and hunting trevally
Sheltered gutters and crevices harbouring macro life and cleaner shrimp stations
