From any anchor location, you can head off along the reef on either the northern or southern side, largely determined which is calmer in the swell conditions on the day. The southern side is flat rock sloping from the sand at 18 meters depth to a ridge at 10 meters depth. Several gutters cut across the sloped rock face. The northern side drops as a wall from the ridge down to several gutters, overhangs, cracks and sporadic bombora rocks. The gutters shelter grey nurse sharks, port jackson sharks, wobbygong sharks, fiddler rays, shovelnose rays, and turtles. Eastern blue grouper will follow divers around the site. The water temperature at Latitude Rock varies from 18 to 24 degrees, and visibility can range from 7 to 25 meters.
