SUMMARY:Hippolyte Rocks - Jul 2026
DESCRIPTION:\n\nTwo large Islands lie about 8 kilometers to the east of the
  Fortescue Bay boat ramp.\n\nThese small volcanic outcrops are very remote
  and exposed. Down at the 30-meter level the water is still\, and this has
  allowed a massive array of invertebrate life to grow. Just about any part
  of the two islands are covered in anemones\, sea whips\, nudibranchs and 
 sponges. Erosion on the seaward side of the Big Hippolyte has created a lo
 t of swim-throughs that are packed with life. Also\, on the northern side 
 of the Big Hippolyte there is a small seal colony. Any dive on the rocks u
 sually attracts the attention of these animals. Don't be surprised to find
  a seal looking over your shoulder during the dive!\n\nThere is a nice gar
 den of sea whips in 30 meters on the western side of the Little Hippolyte.
  Exposed to ocean currents the area often attracts school fish. and the vi
 sibility is usually excellent.\n\nThese factors make for some of the best 
 diving in Tasmania and is always a TUDC Favorite!\n\nADVANCED OPEN WATER C
 ERTIFICATION REQUIRED.\nIf you plan to go deeper than 30m then DEEP DIVER 
 QUALIFIED REQUIRED.\n\nPhoto: David Keys\n\nMeeting at Olinda Groove at 7a
 m and launching from pirates bay boat ramp\n\nWith the nature of the locat
 ion being exposed\, a final decision will be made on the day and if need w
 e will pick a different site\, however the plan will still be to do a dive
 .\n\nAnyone unwell must not attending club events.\nClub dive gear to be w
 ashed with approve solution at the end of dive.\nHand sanitiser will be av
 ailable at the dive.\nPlease maintain social distancing of 1.5m wherever p
 ossible during the event.
