About Big Seal Rocks

Mooring can be done on the western side it takes ten minutes to get from the beach to the rock itself. Descend to 12m where there are rocks and boulders. The sharks reside in the gutter that leads back to the island near your mooring. This leads to a cave hwere the sharks usually congregate. Approach them slowly. Upon your return head north and you'll see a second gutter which ends in a 15m drop-off which slopes down to 35m further on. If you head south at this point around the rock and then NE you'll see a wall. You can explore this before heading back to the mooring.
