South West Rocks MIDWEEK TRIP

Celebrate the end of the semester with a trip to the famous Fish Rock! Fish rock is the only true ocean cave dive in Australia!

It's residents include grey nurse sharks, turtles, huge rock lobsters, bull and eagle rays, giant groper and cod, massive lobsters, Lion fish, cuttles and clown fish! They occasionally see bull and tiger sharks and also get visited annually by hammerheads, whales and other pelagics!

This is a great dive for new and experienced divers alike! EVERYONE will dive Nitrox, as per the dive shop rules. This is a deep dive (down to 30m), but we will be lead by instructors so open water is the minimum qualification.

PLEASE NOTE: If you are a new or inexperienced diver, I suggest doing a few night dives to get used to being in dark water, as it can be intimidating.

There are some great food options around within a short driving distance, as well as the Gaol Ruins (which do cost to access) and the lighthouse walk!

There is also a DVD player and pool table in the lodge.
