Advice for diving Captain Nitro's Drop Off in Australia
Captain Nitro's Drop-off Depth 16m-60m Level OW - DEEP
Captain Nitro's Drop-off is located at the West End of Spectacular Reef. It has large overhangs and big drop-offs. It's a great dive, especially with all the fish life found in the area. As you venture over the drop-off river rocks as large as houses, can be easily seen. Interestingly, they are smooth like any other small river rock you may find in a creek. This dive is conducted at slack water, so that the currents do not affect the dive. The best aspect of this dive is the scenery, not specifically the reef, but the entrance of the bay. Position yourself on one of the river rocks, with the sun in the west you can see some of the larger fish making their way into the bay. To ensure good visibility, dive on slack water after high tide.
