Additional Information

Diving this site can be done with a few different companies that venture out there. The live aboard Venus II with Dive Musgrave is the way that we dive it. Fairfax Island has been used by Whalers and the Australian Defence force for target practice, both uses stop a long time ago now it just a wonderful place to dive.
