Wolf Rock Dive Report - March 2026
Fiona Butler, Wolf Rock Dive Centre
Recent conditions at the spectacular Wolf Rock over the past months have seen large numbers of Grey Nurse sharks. Schools of these majestic, slow-moving sharks have been cruising the gutters in impressive numbers, providing unforgettable close encounters for those heading below the surface.
Adding to the excitement, dense bait balls have been gathering near the surface, creating dramatic scenes as predators move in. The surface action has made for incredible viewing from the boat, with birds diving, fish scattering, and the odd shark launching out of the water.
Divers have also spotted several leopard sharks and Wobbegongs resting along the sandy patches, along with a handful of bull sharks patrolling the deeper sections of the site amongst large schools of Trevally.
Meanwhile, octopus mating activity has been observed among the rocky crevices — a fascinating and rarely witnessed behaviour that has delighted underwater photographers.
Visibility has been varying on average between 6-12 metres. With abundant marine life and dynamic surface action, Wolf Rock continues to live up to its reputation as one of Queensland’s premier shark diving destinations. We recommend booking ahead via the website: www.wolfrockdive.com.au
