Snorkling at Stradbroke

[skozzy]

Is there somewere around Stradbroke worth snorkling at ?. Someone recently
told me there was some small reefs worth a look. But I though Mortenbay was
dead.

North or South Straddie? At North there are a couple of spots. Along the
rock wall at Amity is OK for mucking around.

Dunno about the other side, but the Gorges over at Pt Lookout look great.
There's a nice little one called South Gorge, but you'd have to pick your
tide/wind direction times. Last time I was there, there were about 3 m seas
rolling in through there! :)

You'll need a boat, but you can snorkel out at Shag Rocks or Manta Bommie.
The Straddie Guesthouse run a boat there.

Is it fairly safe from high currents ?, I am only fairly new at snorkling,
and once I got caught up in a strong current that worried me a little, I got
dragged upstreem about 1 klm. This was at Town of 1770 up past Bunderburg.

Don't really remember any currents when I dived there, but it doesn't
really matter if you've got a boat, does it? Sod swimming against a
current, that's what engines are for.
