Danger Rock

Danger Rock is a site we’ve always enjoyed, a real cracker when the conditions line up. You’re dropping onto a submerged pinnacle, the northern side a wall that goes down to about 18 metres before a bend reveals deeper boulder fields. We’ve found the currents here can be pretty lively, so keep an eye on the dive briefing. On the western side, two smaller pinnacles rise from the depths, forming a narrow canyon you can weave through. It's a great little swim-through, the light filtering in really makes the sponges glow. This spot is fantastic for invertebrates; we’ve spent ages here spotting nudibranchs clinging to the rocks, alongside green rock lobsters tucked into crevices. Keep an eye out for schooling butterfly perch, their orange scales flashing, and we’ve often seen dory hovering in the quieter spots. It’s a solid dive for those who appreciate the smaller stuff and don't mind a bit of a current.
