The ride home can be exciting too. Recently there was a small pod of false killer whales hanging around the rock and they get regular humpbacks. We also had two dugong not far from the boat once we came back inside the inlet. And there are many species of raptor and sea birds to keep an eye out for. All in all, this was an average day at Wolf Rock. The great days sound fantastic, and this site gets visited by some very rare critters, so I plan to come back regularly to try my luck. This trip I had four days booked and managed to get out twice. I have no problem with boats deciding that the weather and the sea conditions are too rough, far better than getting bounced around for a few hours. There is plenty to do in the area. There are people to take you out surfing, drives along the beach if you are game, K’gari tours, the huge sand dune at Carlo Blow, but the one not to miss for me are the Australian

humpback dolphins that come in to feed in the mornings at Tin Can Bay. This is a real open ocean dive, even though the rock is not that far offshore. Be prepared with a surface marker buoy, a torch, and make sure you use a lanyard to attach anything you are holding to your gear. This is an amazing dive but be prepared for it. Any dives you will do here will be permanently replayed in your memory for life. So, who’s afraid of the big, bad, Wolf?
