Wild Hammer

Wild Hammer, tucked between Wildlife Reef and Hammerhead Hole, is a site we return to often, especially when we're looking for an easy, rewarding afternoon dive. The topography here is a comfortable mix, dropping to a maximum of 17 metres, which means plenty of bottom time to explore. We love hunting for the smaller stuff – keep an eye out for Roughhead Triplefins perched on the coral, or a Mottled Jawfish peering from its burrow. While you might spot a cruising ray, our favourite aspect is the abundant schools of blue tangs and blue chromis, often so thick they shimmer like a curtain. Look closely among the Mustard Hill and Boulder Brain corals for Flamingo Tongues, or the subtle movement of a Spaghetti Eel. Visibility generally hovers around 22 metres, offering clear views of the busy reef life. This site is perfect for newer divers, or anyone who enjoys a relaxed exploration without strong currents, and it’s especially good for photographers wanting to practice their macro skills.
