Double Lion Rock
Dive site
Twin volcanic pinnacles rise from 30 metres to just below the surface, encrusted in orange and red soft coral. The channel between the pinnacles accelerates current, drawing schooling fusiliers, hunting trevally, and resident grouper. Dogtooth tuna are seasonal highlights.
