| Skull Rock (or Cleft Island) is a very rewarding boat dive site for adventurous divers on the eastern side of Cleft Island. The sheer granite rock formation and caves that rise some 113 metres above sea level look skull like from a distance. Cleft Island is part of the Anser Group of islands at Wilsons Promontory, Victoria, Australia. It's located within the Wilsons Promontory Marine National Park in the often wild seas of Bass Strait. DIVING SKULL ROCK The rock formation continues 65 plus metres underwater and makes for awesome diving. There are underwater caves and playful Australian Fur Seals often come to see divers here. Because of the depths that can be reached here, plus the sometimes strong currents, Skull Rock is best dived at slack water. It drops off steeply, and is well worth a dive on the rare days conditions allow. Ideal Conditions: Skull Rock is best dived with calm seas, no swell and no wind. Light offshore north-easterly to south-easterly winds may be acceptable. Because of the depths that can be reached here, plus the sometimes strong currents, Skull Rock is best dived at slack water.
