Seals/Chinaman's HatMaxdepth: 8m Experience: Level: 1
Site layout:
Most marine life directly around the base of the structure
Points of interest:
Australian Fur Seals
Chinaman's Hat is an old channel marker, designed so that
anyone lost at sea could take refuge on it
Seals use it as a rest station, it is not a breeding colony
Usually anywhere between 6-50 seals here
Seals here are used to divers and quite tame
Very inquisitive & playful, will probably follow you on the dive, spin around, somersault & the seals will copy you
Structure falling down, a new one will be built next to it, then the remains pulled down
