About Breath Taker
This is a typical two in- one dive consisting of Golden Dreams and Shark Junction. The first part of the site is the dreamy yellow dendronepthya soft coral and orange anthias experience at the shallower part of the dive around the several pinnacles it comprises. There are nutrient rich currents that feed the site but it doesn't affect the dive level, embracing all qualifications. The northernmost free standing bommie slopes to 60m and then things generally head for the abyss. The bommie's 18m ledge is what acts as a breakwater for the current so expect what lies beyond...

Dive Site Hazards

  • Situational Awareness Loss — Divers may fixate on sharks and lose depth or position awareness.

  • Subtle Behavioural Shifts — Changes in shark behaviour may be missed without active observation.

  • Blue-Water Reference Loss — Lack of visual references increases ascent and descent instability.

  • Edge-Accelerated Currents — Currents often strengthen along drop-off edges.

  • Depth Perception Distortion — Visual contrast can distort perceived depth.

  • Terrain-Induced Descent — Divers may unintentionally follow terrain downward.

  • Hidden Depth Variations — Complex reef topography can conceal depth changes, leading to unintended profile variations.

  • Distraction from Marine Activity — High fish activity can distract divers and delay depth or gas awareness.

  • Rapid Surge Direction Changes — Surge near reef structures can reverse direction quickly, pushing divers sideways into unexpected areas.
