Description:
Julian Rocks is a small rocky island about three kilometers north of Cape Byron. Popular for its vast array of marine life due to its warm and cold currents and its sheltered, shallow dives such as The Nursery. Two dive companies operate out of Byron Bay, Sundive making early morning, late morning and afternoon trips with two dive boats.

Yellowtail Snapper [click 4 more]

Since Matt was on his Discover Scuba Dive course the dive was at The Nursery but it certainty didn't disappoint. Visibility was reasonably good at 5-6m and lead by Sundive instructor Koen we quickly found out why this is one of the top dive sites in Australia. 1.8-2m Grey Nurse shark followed by hundreds of yellowtail snapper, wobbygong sharks, turtles and stingrays topped the species list. Katrina took some great first shots with her new dive camera.
