South Wall, Gold Coast Seaway Depth: 16 metres Best time to dive: Top of the tide Shore Dive   What will I see: Every dive here is different. You can see anything from Ornate Ghost Pipe fish and Angler fish to Large Grouper and Eagle Rays. Swim from the first Pipe to the Sand pumping Pipe and max out at around 16 metres. the Sand Pipe is host to one of the largest Schoals of Trevally I've ever seen, they are so thick most days they block out the sunlight! Pelagics seen here change with the seasons, during autumn we get a lot of mobula and Manta Rays and at other times of the year we have 1000's of Golden cow rays flying in formation. Barracuda are often seen in the Seaway as are King fish and large Jew fish. We see the occasional Wobbygong and Blind shark and in Summer we are sometimes lucky enough to get the odd Leopard Shark coming in for a visit. Bottom Dwellers like Stone fish and Demon Stingers are common as are Lion fish and Cockatoo wasp fish. Octopus are seen at regular intervals as well as the usual aquarium fish.   South East Wall, Gold Coast Seaway Depth: Gets to 22 meters Best time to dive: Top of the tide or incoming if you want to drift. Shore or boat dive   What will I see: Same as above but you are more likely to see some of the Seaways resident Turtles along here as well as large Bull Rays and the occasional Shovelly.   Coffee Rock reef, Gold Coast Seaway Depth: 15 - 17 meters Best time to dive: Top of the Tide Shore dive   What will I see? This is an Eagle Ray Cleaning station and is the main reason most divers head out there, it is just East of the sand pumping pipe. You can also see at different times of the year Golden Cow Rays and Mobula around this area.   Western Beach Depth: 8 meters Best time to dive: Top of the Tide Shore dive   What will I see? The Western Beach is a great Macro Dive. The area hosts at least 5 different varieties of Pipe fish including Robust Ghost Pipe Fish and Ornate Ghost Pipe Fish. Seahorses, Stink Fish and Flying Gurnards. Velvet Fish, Cuttle fish and Occy's. This also a great area to see Squid laying their eggs. Lots of Whiting and Trevally and the occasional Dolphin. Large Mantis Shrimp also frequent the area. This is a fantastic night dive as well.   Scottish Prince Ship wreck Depth: 12 metres Best time to dive: About an hour before high tide. Boat dive   The Scottish Prince Wreck is Protected and is in surprisingly good condition for being under the water for more than a century. The wreck acts as an artificial reef for many species of Marine life and is also a feeding ground for many seabirds because of this. As you drop onto the wreck, you will notice a halo of Gar and other bait fish, they always envelope the wreck. On any one dive at the Prince you can see a great  variety of Marine Life. Quite often the Bow is home to large Wobbygongs and Bull Rays. There is a resident Turtle and Eagle Rays are a common sight. In the warmer rmonths, Ghost pipe fish like to hang around the Port side and frog fish live under the wreckage. In winter you can hear the Humpback whales singing as you dive and quite often catch sight of them to on your way to and from the wreck.   Wavebreak Island Depth: 18 meters Best time to dive: Just after listed top of the tide. Boat to get over there but you can dive from the shore.   The most dived part of Wavebreak is the Northern Wall. While you often see some of the smaller, exotic stuff that you see in the Seaway, Wavebreak can be a bit of a surprise if you know where to look. There is one spot at Wavebreak where, about an hour after high tide, you can view loads of baby Eagle Rays, I have always seen at least 10 but sometimes I see over 100. I see them on nearly every dive here. Also an hour or so after high tide it is not uncommon to see large schoals of King Fish patrolling the area. While some would say this dive site has been decimated over the last few years with increased numbers of tourists being taken there for fish feeding,and a lot of boat anchor damage, if you look hard enough and know where to look, this is still a great little dive. It is also an awsome night dive.   * be aware that all the shore dives listed above require you to dive with an overhead environment. Please take a Safety Sausage on all dives and use a dive flag if you have one.
