This photo was taken on a very rough day at Canal Rocks, near Dunsborough. The area is notoriously known for being dangerous, with undercurrents, big waves and unpredictable water. In saying that, on a calm day if you are careful diving around the rocks is great. It all comes down to being careful and thinking a bit before you jump in!
Great photo!! I love Canal Rocks on days like that.
Cheers. It’s quite an amazing place. You can dive there, but it has to be very calm!
I’ve been swimming and snorkeling there before on a calm day and saw lots of fish, but I think scuba diving would be better. I’ve heard about a reef not far to the north of Canal Rocks that’s great for diving, have you been there?
Yep, Scuba diving would be better, no doubt. I’ve dived a reef around the little rock that sticks out off the point at Smiths beach; not sure if that is what you are talking about. It was deep though; it drops from 5 metres to 20 almost instantly!
