    Shark Point. We’ve had some truly epic dives here, and a few that were… well, less so. It’s one of those sites that can completely blow your mind or leave you wondering if you picked the wrong day. Our advice? Go early. The crowds can be brutal, and honestly, a dozen other divers kicking up silt really detracts from the magic. When it’s good, it’s *really* good. The pinnacles are draped in soft corals, purples and yellows, swaying gently in the current. You’ll weave through schools of fusiliers, so thick they sometimes make the water feel solid around you. We’ve seen giant morays cruising out in the open, not just peeking from their holes, and the sheer number of blennies and gobies in the crags is just wonderful for macro lovers. Keep an eye out for those blotchfin scorpionfish, they’re masters of disguise, melting right into the rock. The deeper sections can get a bit surge-y, but that’s often where you’ll find the bigger red emperors hanging out. It’s a site that rewards multiple visits and a keen eye.
