tower rock

Tower Rock, as its name suggests, is a magical dive site with towering walls descending into the depths. Below the water you'll find a lunar site of boulders, made up from the taller reaches of Tower Rock in years past.

The walls are laced with Whip Corals and Sea Fans, Oysters and Clams. White Banded Cleaner Shrimp and Ornate Spiny Lobster hide amongst the crags, whilst Blue Faced Angelfish and Yellow Striped Fuseliers dance their way up the walls.

Tower Rock is Manta Ray country, so prepare yourself for some special close encounters with schools of these massive creatures.

Keep your eyes peeled also for those reclusive Blacktip Sharks, often just staying out of vision, behind the rocks.
