Shark Point

Dive Location: 1km southeast of Anemone Reef.
Depth: Average 19m / Maximum 24m

This site was named for the leopard sharks that are often found either resting on the sandy sections around the perimeter of the main structure or freely swimming around the surrounding waters. Three pinnacles are dense with colourful marine life, from impressive sea fans to honeycomb groupers, vivid encrusting sponges, moray eels, lobsters, lionfish and harlequin ghost pipefish. Slightly to the west of the northern pinnacle is a large, spectacular arch saturated in the brilliant colours of the soft corals growing on its surfaces. The reefs here also display bushy black corals, sea whips and gorgonian sea fans, with barracuda, snapper, trevally and mackerel all patrolling the fringes.
