Fish Rock
Cave, the only true ocean cave dive in Australia running 125 metres right
through Fish Rock which lies two kilometres south-east of Smoky Cape – South
West Rocks. Fish Rock is home to a completely unique ecosystem. The temperature
inside the cave is always at least one degree warmer than the surrounding ocean
and the water is always clear. The shallow entrance of Fish Rock Cave at a
depth of 12 metres is a large naturally lit cavern fringed by pink gorgonian
corals and teeming with enough life to fill an entire dive. You can even go up
into the bubble cave and talk to your dive buddy while being five metres
underwater! The deep entrance of Fish Rock Cave is at a depth of 24 metres. You
can also to see resident black cod, large wobbegong sharks, black rays and
giant cuttle fish before ascending up one of the two chimneys into the main
section of the cave.
Grey Nurse Sharks can be seen at Fish Rock all year round. In summer months,
the sharks rest in the shallow entrance of the cave, which is an awesome diving
moment for even the most experienced diver! This also presents an unparalleled
photographic opportunity for novice and experienced photographers. We offer a
range of digital cameras for hire upon request. Around the island the depth
varies on average between 15 and 30 metres and deep gutters form perfect
aggregation areas for the sharks and other marine creatures who reside here.
The western fringe of Fish Rock is washed by the currents that bring the
diverse range of marine life to the area and you can expect to see lots of
fish, turtles, moray eels and friendly blue groper. The eastern side of Fish Rock
is spectacular. Sheer walls plunge to an average depth of 30 metres in an area
that is rarely affected by current. Boulders the size of small houses line the
sea floor and are home to large wobbegong sharks disguised amongst clouds of
bullseyes. On the northern side of Fish Rock a pinnacle rises 30 metres from
the sea floor to within 7 metres of the surface. This is one of the best dives
at Fish Rock and is home to turtles, Grey Nurse Sharks, giant Queensland groper
and a huge variety of fish life.
