This is a large reef system covering some ten square kilometres, with forty
eight separate dive sites ranging from steep walls, caves, isolated
bommies, gutters, overhangs and shallow reefs.
Being
3 nautical miles offshore from The Entrance township, this extensive
reef system is a veritable divers paradise and the marine
life includes just to name a few, local Jewfish and occasional Grey
nurse sharks drifting by, Weedy Sea dragons in the kelp grounds, with
schools of Bream and Sweep.
I
have always managed to have a very good dive in this area and the range
of sites is one thing that makes this reef system a must dive area.
The S.S. Kiama came to grief on this bommie
in 1951 and lays not far from the ledge in 45 metres of water, I am
certain there are more wrecks about. Whilst closer to shore a dive site
that never fails to capture the imagination of all divers is the 2 Miler
caves, with seven different caves or large overhangs filled with so
many fish you have to use a torch to see your way around as the fish
quite literally blot out the entrance of some overhangs.
Visiting
divers will be amazed with the 3 Miler as this system is commonly known
as, all divers will find something to interest them on every one of
our dives.
