About this site
This dive spot off Otago’s coast features dramatic underwater cliffs and kelp forests teeming with marine life. Expect encounters with playful fur seals, colorful nudibranchs, and schools of blue cod. Strong currents attract pelagics like eagle rays. The rocky terrain offers crevices for octopus and crayfish. Visibility varies but rewards with rich biodiversity. Best suited for intermediate divers due to occasional surge. A cold-water gem with vibrant ecosystems.
