 Additional Information

English (Translate this text in English): Castle Rock is basically a square lump of rock, about the size of a football field, sitting alone in an area with a limestone and sand bottom. The top of the rock is at 12 m (40 ft) and usually the shot line is dropped right on top to allow divers to adjust their gear before "plunging" over the edges of the rock formation.

The site has lots of macro fauna all over it with lots of nudibranchs grazing. One wall is covered in tiny yellow zoeanthids.

There are of undercuts at the 20 m (62 ft) max depth where you may sight a cray, or two, usually missing their horns from past encounters with divers. Southern Blue
Devils also hide in the cracks and holes.

Castle rock - Plenty to see just be sure to dive it on an Ebb tide and follow the dive brief and the shot line down to the bottom cause if you drop off before you get to the bottom its just sand! Castle rock sits in 12msw at its top and 18 msw to the sand and will take you a good 30min to get around keep an eye out for the little things theres so much to see and some nice swim thoughs get out there and have some fun.

One of my favourites - This 300m bommie is covered with life. Zoanthids, sponges, kelp, soft and hard corals and many many fish. You will usually see the famous temperate water blue devil fish and a colony of port jackson sharks. It is just very pretty. Go out and dive it
