Barracuda Rock

A Wayil-area site that liveaboards visit for its schools of predatory fish, especially trevally and barracuda. By night the reef changes character: guests on one trip found walking sharks and flathead crocodilefish in little current. Published depth details are limited, so the dive plan depends on the guides and the tide.
