About Splash Rock

24m, a small rock which shows at LW, in the Cook Strait just N of the entrance to Tory Channel. The rock drops to a broad flat plateau at about 20m running W to a pinnacle at about 9m. The plateau slopes away to deep water at an angle of about 20� on either side. This was a very nice dive, with many fish, octopus, luridly coloured jewel anemones, and sponges. We dived a bit before slack water with about a knot of tide, which made staying around the same area and keeping together in a three a little tricky in 10m vis. On the plus side it ensured that all the marine life was out and feeding.
