    Kissing Rock sits shallow, topping out at six metres, which makes it an easy introduction for newer divers. The main feature is the large boulder that looks like it's leaning in for a kiss, hence the name. Around it, you'll spot smaller reef fish darting between the rocks. It’s a gentle spot for a relaxed shallow dive.
