Fish Rock Cave - South West Rocks

From a few days up the coast in April,

Fish Rock Cave

Very nice Jon! That huge school of rays sure grabs your attention. What a fun dive that must be. Where is it located?

Thanks,

Steve

Thanks Steve, Fish Rock Cave is located just offshore from the town called South West Rocks, about 4.5 hrs north of Sydney. It is a really special place due to the fact that it sits really close to the continental shelf and also at the meeting point of the warm Coral Sea current and the cooler temperate water from down south.

I have been diving up there for the last 8 or 9 years and the place changes so much depending on the currents, this year in Jan they had schools of hammers and a whale shark (unfortunately I couldn't get up there then!) but generally there are always Grey Nurse Sharks, Eagle Rays, Bat Rays, Tuna etc etc. It is a fabulous spot, there is generally a pretty good current hammering through which always makes it interesting.... but hey that's what brings the fish!

I had a friend do this dive about a year ago and he rated it very high in his books due to the life that you just displayed.

Nice One

Thanks Kelly

Jon,

Cracking video - I particularly like the intro and fast pace of the editing (nice use of the map too). I've dived the site a zillion times and your video sums up the best of the place.

My last few dives there have been fallback dives from some tec stuff we're doing so the current/surge have been wild; I'm looking forward to getting back there on a good day.

Thanks mate, yeah when you get it on a good day it is pretty awesome!

Actually I have just seen how to actually embed on the post instead of a link
