Jubilee Arches dive site

Overview

Description

Jubilee Arches is located along the wall of Jubilee Shoals. This site features the finger pinnacle at about 18m and Jubilee Arches, a short swim-through. The swim-through entrance is located at 30m, so advanced certification is required. This site can only be accessed by boat. The upwelling along this massive rock wall creates a feeding ground for larger species. Sea Turtles, Amberjack, and Barracuda are extremely common and the occasional Dolphin is spotted. Exploring along the wall provides the opportunity for macro life as well, including multiple species of nudibranchs. Other reef fish are abundant and you often find yourself swimming in what appears to be a "confetti party" of small silverfish. A Deep specialty is suggested for this site to explore down to 40m as this wall drops even further to 60m plus. The site is close to the RAF Canberra wing wreckage and can often be combined in one dive.
