About Admiralty Anchor

Mooring here is on one of the bommies. When you dive this spot you'll see lots of them closely packed and a 5m reef that runs N-S and drops to 35m. There is plenty of marine action in between their gulleys and canyons and garden eels galore in the sand. At 35 the wall drops off to 1000m. To see the anchor you need to find a big section of green poorites coral and then you'll see the opening. Stay low and then look up where it narrows and you'll see the admiralty anchor wedged into the 'cave' and can swim under or over it and out through the exit back into the reef. Great night or day dive.
