Description

The Bob's Rock dive site is named after the late Bob Ussher, who was a well know Portland abalone diver and pioneer of the industry. Legend has it that Bob tried diving for abalone here once. He was excited by what he saw when he hit the bottom in 20 metres, but was promptly spooked off by a white pointer. He never returned.

It is quite an unnerving place to be. Divers have been out for a look since Bob, but only to come away without getting wet. "It just didn't feel right..."
