Latitude Rock- a popular dive site here is an isolated rock reef feature teaming with life - a macro photographers dream.

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 northern side of the site drops as a wall from the ridge down to several gutters, overhangs, cracks and sporadic bombora rocks
