StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

North-West Point is a dive we always recommend for divers who appreciate the small stuff and aren’t afraid of a bit of current. Starting around 7m, the reef slope is alive with colour. We often find the visibility here can top 20m, making it easy to spot all the tiny residents. This site is all about slowing down. We've spent entire dives just hovering over a single patch of coral, watching the antics of spinyhead blennies or trying to coax a suspicious lizardfish out from its perch. Keep an eye out for graysby and spotted trunkfish darting between the coral heads. If the current is mild, the drift can be incredibly relaxing, but if it picks up, you'll want to be comfortable with your buoyancy control. It's a fantastic spot for intermediate divers who enjoy a detailed exploration rather than grand pelagic encounters. We especially love the hunt for frogfish on the larger boulders, a challenge that usually pays off.
