The Caves

Boat Dive
SE corner of Michealmas Is.
Depth 7 – 26 M

This is “Dive Albany” at some of it’s best. Huge caves, gorgonian fans, colourful sponges, shells, prolific fish life and the famous “Grinding Rock”. Identified from the surface by a jumble of broken rocks on the SE corner of Michealmas Island. Anchor on sand line and swim in. Swim around these amazing rock formations, feel and hear the grinding as this huge rock moves with the water. It’s both frightening and exciting at the same time. Swim through the many caves and grottos, which seem to go on forever. A torch is a must and you “will be back”.
Best dived with 0 – 1M swell & SW – N winds as the surge can be quite severe inside these caves. Exposed to the easterlies.
