Divers may come across wobbegong sharks, Port Jackson sharks, southern eagle rays, giant cuttlefish, bull rays, moray eel, schools of yellowtail, angelsharks as well as a wide range of nudibranch.
Keep in mind that the conditions can change without warning. Be careful of the currents. Last but not least, you are required to pay an entry fee to the park.
