Smith Rock.
Smith Rock is often frequented by the large species of marine life, it has been the cause of many a maritime incident.
Situated north of Cape Moreton the notorious shipping hazard makes for a great dive with the right conditions. Strong currents and various winds offer no place to hide against the elements.
The potential for exploration of caves and strewn wreckage makes for an interesting dive.

Flinders Reef.
This area now under the control of the marine parks and wildlife and has proven to be one of Brisbane's most dived areas. Mooring buoys have been placed to stop the destruction of the reef due to the high number of vessels visiting this area, with over 8 vessels visiting the area at one time on a weekend. Flinders reef is a very large coral formation that always shows above water and drops away to 40+ mtrs over an area of aprox 500mtrs. The site is well protected for diving in most weather conditions, has an amazing diversity of fish, Turtles and other marine creatures, during the winter months the migrating Whales visit close by to the reef. The site also offers a variety of diving with swim throughs, gardens, ledges and pinnacles and plenty of photography opportunities. For the nudibranch enthusiasts we have counted over 25 different types in just this one area.

Yellow Patch.
Yellow patch is located on the northern side of Moreton Island, a large sand area where the depth is approx. 6-8mtrs. This site can be easily accessed from the shore as well as by boat.
Over the years many trawler skippers have used this area as a dumping ground for debris caught in their nets, dumping it here in a place where it can do no harm. "One mans rubbish is another man's treasure". Here is where the interest starts.
Yellow Patch over the years has collected some pretty interesting stuff e.g. Brass portholes, cases of Thomson submachine guns, heavy artillery shells, pieces of old planes, admiralty anchors, bits of old boats, cases of mortar shells and one trawler skipper towed a war plane of the 40's to this site.
These things and more have already been found on the site, there was even an old whaling gun. So if the lure of treasure is in your blood then here is a good site to explore.

Comboyuro Point.
A relatively easy site to find but a site only experienced diver's should attempt. Head towards the beach and the sounder will jump from 35 to 15 meters.
Best suited as a drift dive along a shelf running parallel to Moreton Island. With sheer walls, ledges, and little nooks and crannies to investigate.
It lends itself to a wide variety of marine life of huge estuary cod, turtles, schools of ocean going fish, feather stars, hydroids and the occasional shark.
There is also the chance of finding the unusual; the strong currents tend to dump foreign objects along here before heading past the point.

The Pines.
This site best suited as a drift dive. Most of the site can be covered on the dive with a depth of 10-18mtrs. Consisting of a wall of coffee rock and scattered bommies, this site never ceases to surprise with the encounters of various and numerous types of marine life. This site can be easily obtained from the shore with a short swim of 100-150mtrs from the beach. Turtles. Rays. Sharks (shovel and wobbiegong) and even Dolphins have been reported seen at this site.

Gotham City.
A newly discovered site about a mile North of Flinders reef, it has become the talk of the town. The site was happened upon as a possible wreck site and has done nothing but hold divers in awe. This giant granite rock lies in 37mtrs of water and extends up to about 22mtrs. Its approximately 40mtrs in length and 25mtrs in width and is truly awesome. The sheer cliffs lift 15mtrs from the bottom on three sides and a few shallow caves are scattered about the place, which make for some interesting investigation. This site regularly has better visibility than other sites in the area. There is an abundance of marine life swarming around it, snapper, red emperor, cod, barracuda and some smaller varieties of marine life. I would tend to believe that the larger pelagics of the area would also pop in from time to time.

Flat Rock.
As the name suggests the site is of a large flat rock. There are many dive sites around this area and although weather conditions dictate the times it has always proven to be a remarkable dive site.
Summer time brings in the large quantities of tropical fish, leopard shark, and large Shovel-nosed rays. While in winter other Grey Nurse Sharks came and stay, sounds of whales in the distance can be distinctively heard.
This whole site offers something for everyone, with a diversity of marine life and depth ranges (8-36mtrs) to suit most divers. Around the site turtles, bull rays and eagle rays are regularly seen and the occasional glimpse at the resident Grey Nurse Shark.
Visibility averages 8 - 20mtrs and strong currents exists outside the dive areas so please be careful.

Manta Ray Bommie.
Just east of Shag Rock is a rocky out crop so called after its summer residents. The Manta Rays come here in the summer months to feed on a food source that is specific to this area. Along with the Manta's come the bigger fish, Leopard Sharks, Shovel-nosed Rays, and Cobia. Due to its location weather conditions govern the prospect of a diving here. Diving with these creatures is awesome; they are more inquisitive of you than you of them. This site has a lot to offer, the limelight maybe stolen by the mantas but this site has plenty to offer with tourney nurse sharks,
wobbiegong sharks, large octopuses and even a Spanish Dancer. Depth ranges from 8-16mtrs and visibility averages from 5-15 mtrs.

Shag Rock.
Very easy to find, just look for the white rocks just off the northern tip of Stradie, the whiteness of the rocks is due to the large amount of birds, inhabitant to the rocks, "SHAG'S".
Shag Rock is a popular dive with dive charters as there is always somewhere to dive at this site. Depth ranges from 8-24mtrs and visibility averages from 5-15 mtrs, the site has several swim through's, gutters and an ever increasing marine life which always makes for an interesting dive.
Having dived this site 40 + times it was not until my last dive here that I spotted a leopard shark in the low vis, This is the first sighting of a leopard shark here in over 10 yrs. Very Exciting. Other inhabitants included Wobbiegong Sharks, turtles, octopus, tropical fish and a range of nudibranches along with sea urchins that blanket the boulder floor; good buoyancy is a must on this dive.

Hendersons Rock.
This would have to be one of Brisbane's best and least frequented dive sites, due to its venerable position. Wintertime is the best time to get to this site and it's
neighbouring site in "Cherubs Cave". Depth on this dive varies greatly, 12-30mtrs and visibility of 20+mtrs, the formations of pinnacles, overhangs, ledges and deep gutters scattered across the bottom creates several swim through areas, making for an interesting dive. The last time I dived here 4 rather large Grey Nurse Sharks had returned to the site, also found here are schools of pelagic fish, nudibranchs and some kelp beds where the occasional seahorse can be spotted. Inside the caves and around the gutters you will find some of the larger fish
varieties.
