Sail Rock is one huge circular pinnacle that rises from the seabed and juts out of the water. Sail Rock rises up to 8m out of the water and the dive site has a maximum depth of over 40m. The actual rock wall drops down to below 20 meters, where it meets sand that gradually banks away. There is a second large rock – that doesn’t reach the surface – on the south-east of the dive site that drops down into the sand at more than 30 meters. Several smaller scattered rocks surround the main rock. The most noticeable feature of the dive is "the chimney" - a vertical tunnel in the rock that leads you from 18m to 8m, but the entire site (from the surface to 45m) is full of points of interest. The rock is riddled with small holes which makes a perfect habitat for white eyed and yellow margin moray eels, and the large anemones that cover it are filled with anemone fish and shrimp. The waters around Sail Rock are overflowing with color and diversity.
