About Ayer's Rock

This dive site consists of sandy slope with sea grass along with a lovely reef and drop off which descends down to depths of 40 meters, though the reef itself ascends from a shallow depth of 15 meters so essentially descending below 28 meters isn't necessary. The reef has numerous coral formations and sponge life plastering its walls. It also makes for a thrilling night dive.
