The Canyon is a rock filled valley
between two submerged cliffs, just to
the north of Govenor Island. The area
is noted for ist sponges which come in
a variety of stricking colours. Some of
the sponges are a tall as the divers.
The area is also thick with ascidians,
hydroids, sea spiders, sea whips, sea
fans and anemonies. It has basically
the whole range of deep water
invertibrates that can be found in
Tasmanian waters. This large area is
especially suited to the scenic diver,
photographer and marine naturalist. The
area has been a marine reserve for 10
years and is a good example of a
protected area.
