Cleanerfish Bay Poor Knights Islands

Cleanerfish Bay Dive Site

Cleanerfish Bay dive site is situated just below Tower Point and offers a wide range of spectacular diving. Gracefully fining your way around the Eklonia kelp gardens as you make your way to the huge boulder that has a crack running all the way through it harbouring life in and around it.

 

Like the red-banded Coralfish, Daidema urchins that under torch light change in colour from a dullish dark brown into a magnificent fiery red having iridescent blue lines running from the centre outward.

 

Taking your camera here to capture these sights to later share with others can be well rewarding as you come in a stones throw from the likes of some giant Boarfish hovering over the white sandy bottom.

 

Seeing the crested Weedfish, slender Pipefish as they meander amongst the kelp heads. Spotting out the Nudibranchs with their brilliant colours makes this a perfect end to a great dive as you head back to the boat for a hot cuppa in anticipation of other adventures that lie ahead.
