This is a spot we the aandtsociety got to have a look around when we go out to other spots to collect our reef aquarium species.
The spot has water to 115 feet deep around it and it is 37 klms by boat for us.
Normally it is far to dangerous to access the rock pool, but when we go out to this spot we try to plan for good conditions and it is sometimes so calm we take our lunch and hot drinks with us.
I found this spot in the early eighties while working with a commercial collector that was in our aquarium club at the time.
I swam to the reef because I was sea sick to sit and recover and found this, the best rock pool for snorkelling with in the best reef in our area .
The last time we were there late in 2008, the conditions were so good we ended up just off the reef snorkelling back to the boat in near on a hundred feet and able to see the colour of the eyes of the largest leopard shark near the bottom it was so clear and calm.
This reef has it all, far too much to describe.
We go on scuba there normally, but when it is with the club I usually go snorkelling with them, it is very good cardio exercise.
We go to this area around three times each year as the club, I used to dive it nearly each weekend when conditions were good, between 50 to 80 feet at this spot is an enormous amount of life,80 to a 100 the colourful inverts are a bit reduced.
There is a very strong consistent current here, we normally have to use an extra rope to the anchor from the back of the boat or by the time you get to the bottom, you are a hundred yards behind the boat when you hit the bottom.
