| Long-fin Boarfish |
Depth: 0-30m
Descend on
the east side amongst snapper, trevally, butterfly perch and
demoiselles. A crack near the centre of the rock becomes a cave at
20m. At 25m a level platform gradually drops away. The rock was once
a military target and there are unexploded devices. Do not attempt
to bring any to the surface. Very large red moki and scorpionfish
among sponge-covered boulders. On the western side there is often
more current and less visibility but masses of fish. Kingfish and
the occasional bronze whaler shark, prey on the smaller baitfish
schools. Stay near the rock and do not attempt to swim with the
current.
