A brilliant Boat dive.. Skeleton Rock is a popular dive in the Seal Rocks area. trust me its worth it a trip out, You can see just about anything on this dive... there is a small population of Grey Nurse Sharks living around the rock.

Another spectacular attraction to this dive site are the GIANT Southern Eagle Rays (Bull Rays). Its not uncommon to see these beautiful creatures in lengths of around 4 metres or so. Its an unbelievable experience.

Other things you will be just about guaranteed to see include, Moray eels, Scarlet Mowong (otherwise known as Dancing Fish) Loggerhead Turtles sleep in every undercut and crevice.

You can find tons of rock dwelling fish and small crustaceans living amongst the kelp, as well as Blue Groper and Wobbygong Sharks by the hundreds.

It really is a brilliant dive!
