About this site

Wolf Rock lies off the Queensland coast near Rainbow Beach, Australia, formed by four volcanic pinnacles breaking the surface, and reaches a maximum depth of around 38 metres over a rocky bottom, generally rated as an intermediate dive. Divers have reported encountering eagle rays, grouper, leopard (zebra) sharks, manta rays, mantis shrimp, moray eels, nudibranchs, nurse sharks, octopus, scorpionfish, sea turtles, and even whales passing through at times. The same reports point to venomous olive sea snakes moving around the pinnacles alongside the marine life. Depth, strong currents, and unpredictable visibility are also flagged as hazards here, so the site calls for attentive planning around the rock's exposed position.
