DIVE SITES:

The Great Wall

There are 3 moorings on this spectacular wall which starts at 15 ft then dramatically drops to over 3000 feet. With massive ancient sponges, sea whips and corals growing out from the wall. Turning your gaze into the blue you may see a shark or two cruise by or be accompanied by a curious turtle for a while.

Mixing Bowl

This is where all aspects of the Bloody Bay Marine Park meet. Start on the sheer wall, swimming towards the Jacksons area where the wall turns into swiss cheese with holes galore hiding a huge variety of critters, including massive lobsters.

Nancy's Cup of Tea

This site is a deep dive with a wonderful coral pinnacle where you swim by a forest of black coral then continue to spiral up the pinnacle enjoying the life it holds around it.
