About Wolf Rock

Wolf Rock is a chain of four volcanic pinnacles rising from around 35 metres to within a few metres of the surface, approximately one kilometre east of Double Island Point. The pinnacles host a year-round resident population of grey nurse sharks that aggregates in numbers from May through November. Outside the shark season the site remains a strong big-fish dive with bull rays, leopard sharks, mantas in season and schooling pelagics. Conditions are exposed and current dependent: boat-only access, slack-water dive windows, and operators turn back when swell or wind builds. Most operators require Advanced Open Water plus current-diving experience.
