Wolf Rock

One of Australia's Top 10 Dives

Wolf Rock is a formation of four volcanic pinnacles found north of Double Island Point Queensland and is considered to be one of Australia’s top ten diving destinations.  These pinnacles provide some fantastic diving with plenty of vertical gutters and overhanging ledges to explore and it’s a perfect site for multi-level diving.

 

It is part of the Great Sandy Marine Park and has a 1.5 km protection zone around the formation for the protection of the critically endangered Grey Nurse Sharks. Wolf Rock is a critical habitat for the species where they can be found all year round. The grey nurse grows to a size of around three metres, they look quite fierce but are actually quite a harmless species of shark.

 

Other animals you can expect to dive with are eagle rays, several species of turtles, leopard sharks, bull rays, pelagic species of fish such as giant trevally, kingfish, mackerel and schools of barracuda just to name a few.  Even though Wolf Rock is known to be a “big critter” dive we still have all the other “usual suspects” such as batfish, nudibranchs, anemone fish, octopus etc.
