3 UNIQUE SITES
Julian Rocks ‘Nguthungulli’ Nature Reserve is one of Australia’s top rated dive sites! Its waters range in depth from 5-35 metres make it ideal for both snorkellers and more experienced divers. Its unique location off the coast of Byron Bay where cool and warm waters meet make it an incredible place to spot an over 1000 species of aquatic life!
The rock formations themselves are a sight to behold. Swim between towering bommies, spot remnants of a shipwreck, wade above a colourful arrangement of soft corals, sponges, anemones and ascidians and be surrounded by hundreds of species of colourful fish (71% of which are recorded as tropical).
The zoning of Cape Byron Marine Park is ‘red’ – meaning it is protected from extractive activities (mining minerals, oil and natural gas) and is a no-take zone meaning removing of plants and animals is banned.These protections allow the area to flourish with an exciting abundance of marine life.
