Full Description

The underwater world here is like a huge underwater garden with lots of kelps and seaweeds ranging in reds, oranges, purples, greens and browns covering our rocky reefs. So naturally the waters are quite fishy with lots of different species of native fish such as octopus, moki, blue cod and butterfish. Also lots of crayfish, paua and Kina beds as well as macro life such as nudibranchs.
Occasionally we are lucky enough to get the very playful fur seals come by to play in our bubbles!
