About North Rock

A wall dive. You get in from a boat. It suits Advanced divers and up, as a dive guide states it. The coast faces E: swell from the E reaches it, and wind from the W blows out to sea. No dive centre within 10 km, the nearest 22 km away. The sea is about 19°C in August, its coldest month (7 mm wetsuit and hood), and 25°C in February, its warmest (3 mm wetsuit). The town to stay in is Hawks Nest. Within 5 km we also list 1 dive site.
