Shag Rock - Sunken Reef

Shag Rock is a prime dive site located just a short 6 to 8 minute boat ride from the beach where our Dive boats are launched. Being an exposed rocky reef, it offers excellent protection and becomes an ideal spot for diving when conditions at other sites become unfavorable.

Both sides of the reef boast incredible dive sites and are connected by an awe-inspiring swim through cave, presenting an exhilarating challenge for divers of all skill levels. This unique feature allows divers to either explore each side separately for a highly stimulating experience or combine them into one dive to enjoy the best of both worlds. While Shag Rock may not always have the highest visibility compared to our other sites, it frequently boasts minimal to no current, creating a tranquil environment for both beginners and experienced divers.

The diverse marine life at Shag Rock includes wobbegong and bamboo sharks, eagle and bull rays, turtles, octopus, eels, nudibranchs, stonefish, sea urchins, as well as a wide variety of hard and soft corals and tropical fish species. If you're lucky, you may even encounter leopard sharks, manta rays, and grey nurse sharks during their respective seasons.

Located in Point Lookout, Redland City, Queensland, Australia, Shag Rock provides an unforgettable diving experience for enthusiasts in the country. With a maximum depth of 14m and visibility of 10m, it is a perfect dive site for beginners to explore the underwater wonders.
