Ann's Rock / Astrid's Wall

Ann's Rock and Astrid's Wall is one of those sites that just feels right, a classic Poor Knights drift that can really deliver. We usually drop on the outside of Ann's Rock, letting the current carry us along the vibrant wall itself. The sheer density of schooling fish here is what we love – think thousands of demoiselles and swarms of snapper, often so thick you have to fin through them. Keep an eye out for the big pelagics too. We’ve seen striped marlin cruise by in the blue, and bronze whalers are a fairly regular sight. The wall itself is a tapestry of colourful sponges and anemones, with plenty of nooks and crannies to peer into for green wrasse and the occasional crayfish. Our favourite part has to be the feeling of that gentle push of current, gliding effortlessly past the scenery, with the knowledge that anything could swim out of the blue. This site is perfect for divers who appreciate a good drift and want to experience the sheer abundance of Poor Knights marine life.
