    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Shark Point delivers exactly what it promises, though leopard sharks aren’t always guaranteed. We've often spotted them resting on the sandy bottom, particularly in the early mornings. The site itself is a series of pinnacles, covered in anemones and soft corals, where schooling fusiliers often fill the water column. It's a relaxed dive, good for photographers and those who appreciate a slower pace to really look for the smaller stuff like ornate ghost pipefish.
