A small cluster of rocky pinnacles lie 5 nautical miles north west of White Island. The Volkner Rocks are vestiges of an ancient volcano so the underwater topography is spectacular. One such site is Diadema Rock. On the northern side of the big Volkner is this small pointed pinnacle. Rising to just 8metres under the surface and descending sharply to 40 plus metres.

Nestled in a quiet cove behind South Rock lies a consistently favourite dive site. Anchored in the calm bay in 8metres of water, this site has it all. Sandy/rocky ground in the bay, to the finger reef that extends out from South Rock, where divers can swim through the Arch. See the resident Spanish lobster there-hence the name.
