Dive Sites
Neil Island

Busy Burro

Busy Burro (busy old man) is located in the channel between Havelock and Neil island. It’s a beautiful natural plateau where one can expect mild to strong currents around spring tide. Thanks to the hunting trevally and tuna, huge schools of colourful fish prefer to hang around divers for refuge and present awesome photo opportunities (wink). Nearby rocky outcrops house lobsters, octopus and shrimp while the sand patches hide spotted rays, garden eels and flounders. Interesting macro critters like juvenile ghost pipefish and varieties of sea slugs can be found amongst the few gorgonians and barrel sponges that pepper the otherwise stark landscape here.
