The Giant Staircase here at the Poor Knights Islands is an area that has an underwater ridge extending from a tip of the island to Landing Bay Pinnacle. Most divers participate in diving both of these dive sites during their trip out here to the Knights.
You may notice that boats anchor on it, as surrounding waters are rather deep. The Giant Staircase is a nice dive because it provides a good mix of medium to deep diving opportunities. In the shallows around the Giant Staircase one encounters pelagic fish like jack mackerel and koheru, and in the deep pink maomao. This area is mainly made up of stalked kelp habitat. |
