Avid divers, there are now two Marine
Park Dive Trails on Sisters' Islands.
The two trails opened Nov 8, and each one is 100m in
length.
The shallower trail is about five to six meters deep, and leads to
the more advanced deep trail, which lets divers plunge to a depth
of 15m. You may see some feather duster worms (ew or cool?), giant
clams, anemone and clownfish. There are 20 stops along the way
with signs highlighting what creatures can be found there.
If you're a new diver, you'll have to log in more dives because an
advanced level of certification is required. You also have to have
good buoyancy control, and be able to deal with rough currents and
low visibility.
Check out the official
website that will inform you of future dive
dates. Register for the next dive on Nov 22 with
either GS
Diving or Opcon
Diving, as stated on the NParks
website. Prices vary depending on the operator.

the Sisters'
Island Facebook page where there are lots of images of the
creatures you can expect to find at the dive trails.
