About Diving At Gunners Rock
Gunners rock is a fabulous dive spot off Thunderbolt reef in Wildside, Port Elizabeth. Reaching depths of 26 to 44 meters, you will be able to explore caves and overhanging rocks where you can spot Galjoen and Cave Bass lurking around.
White Cauliflower Corals smother the deck mounted gun area while juvenile fish swim in close knit groups in the shallower areas.
A variety of other species can be seen here from Flame Corals, Violet Spotted Anemones, Basket Stars and Ink Pot Nudibranchs to Lamp Urchins, Green Choirboys, Vase Ballsponges and White Ridged Nudibranchs. You need to have an Advanced Diving qualification to dive here and will need to go out on a boat to reach this magnificent spot.
