Dive-site story
Rising from the seabed off Double Island Point, Wolf Rock consists of a cluster of four exposed volcanic pinnacles that form a marine sanctuary. The site serves as a vital critical habitat and gestation site for grey nurse sharks, which congregate along the rocky gutters and deep amphitheaters throughout the year. Swells and open-ocean currents sweep over the boulders, drawing pelagic species and feeding rays.
