Horseshoe Cliff

Horseshoe Cliff sits immediately north of Cape Maeda and takes its name from the curved limestone promontory that creates a sheltered bay. The dive follows a dramatic wall dropping to 30 metres, riddled with crevices and swim-throughs colonised by large gorgonian fans and black coral trees. Schooling anthias and chromis fill the water column while scorpionfish and moray eels occupy ledges. The sandy base is productive muck terrain with garden eels, flathead, and occasional juvenile frogfish. Currents along the wall can run moderate during tidal changes, creating good drift conditions.
