This site is renowned for spectacular soft-coral-lined rocky walls, a 10-metre plateau on the western side that drops to over 22 metres, and an extraordinary abundance of large pelagic fish and reef fish — thanks to a complete fishing ban. Schools of trevally, tuna, and mackerel cruise the bommies between the rocks, while giant anemones host vast clownfish colonies. The remote location, exposed conditions, and strong currents make it one of the most thrilling snorkel and dive sites in the Keppels, reserved for experienced snorkelers and divers who join a boat tour.","advanced",null,"published",{"name":59,"amplitude":75,"phase":91,"latitude":22,"model":107,"epoch":108},[60,61,62,63,64,65,66,67,68,69,70,71,72,73,74],"2N2","J1","K1","K2","M2","M4","MF","MM","N2","O1","P1","Q1","S1","S2","T2",[76,77,78,79,80,81,82,83,84,85,86,87,88,89,90],0.04479956957531965,0.021473684046072496,0.3013402841969784,0.13749998404645825,1.2687853416448986,0.003682264975142746,0.004489148818153034,0.0035411873805214975,0.2970776922718424,0.15295791793728405,0.08463608818042313,0.02466821184326495,0.012429466881819591,0.45981939017089224,0.024339847595014612,[92,93,94,95,96,97,98,99,100,101,102,103,104,105,106],319.12055610150674,32.96189300482256,11.05472003201824,332.348875348527,340.06764619809974,127.63089950056933,13.218159213093157,112.01644030010371,331.65552874880603,342.07942599390935,6.873317146070369,309.1049988965673,318.0581572150912,337.65785313575515,325.70575110630057,"EOT20","1992-01-01T00:00:00Z",[110,114,117,121,124,128,131,134],{"name":111,"description":112,"severity":113,"season_start":56,"season_end":56},"Strong currents","Egg Rock is exposed to the open ocean and can experience strong tidal flows through the channels between the islands, making it challenging for inexperienced snorkelers.","warning",{"name":115,"description":116,"severity":113,"season_start":56,"season_end":56},"Exposed open-ocean conditions","The site is accessible only by boat and requires calm seas.
