StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

Rocky Peaks, about 12km north of Western Rocky, really lives up to its name. You're dropping onto mountainous limestone, these big formations capped with plenty of soft corals and a surprising number of black diadema sea urchins, all rising to about five meters below the surface. We've found the currents here can be a bit energetic, so a fast descent is usually a good idea to tuck in behind the rocks for shelter. The real payoff, though, is deeper, where the sea fan and coral coverage really come into their own. It's a site that rewards a swift entry and a willingness to explore the deeper sections.
