Steps, Slugs, & Surprises: The Many Layers of Step Up

Step Up is what you get when nature builds a temple and invites all the reef fish to party. Picture long, rocky ledges stacked like the steps of an ancient ruin, each one alive with colour and curiosity. These natural “steps” create deep stratified thin overlapping rock layers where shy groupers, moray eels, lobsters, shrimp, and sea slugs tuck themselves away—waiting for the current to bring in the next diver to wave hello to. Out in the open, fusiliers, butterflyfish, surgeonfish, glass fish, and the ever-stylish moorish idols zip around like the musical notes of an orchestra, while majestic napolean wrasse often cruises by, watching the chaos like the conductor of this masterpiece. Step Up lies in the boat channel between Havelock and Neil Island, so brace for some thrilling currents and even more thrilling encounters—think rays on sandy patches and unexpected nudibranchs along the ledges. Step Up isn’t just a dive site—it’s an invitation to explore, step by step.
