I'm interested in finding out some more stories about the curse of the Alkamos Reef. Does anybody know of any decent websites which has information on this topic?

I lost my surfboard there one day. I think one of those bloody ghosts took it and are surfing the place daily. On the same wave, two of us had to bail our boards to get under the wave, too big to duck dive. My legrope broke and my friends brand new board was snapped in two. It was too hideous on the inside reef to swim in so I swam back to the boat. the board floted in and out of the lineup for a while then disappeared to the inside of the reef never to be seen again.

now I stay away from the place.

try searching"Alkimos wreck"

Oh yeh ,me n yoyo found the damn place allright. Definatley had some uncanny moments out there thats 4 sure. I dont know about any 1 else but out of all the 100's of places I've surfed in my life this is still 1 joint that gives me the "willies". Its almost as if you just dont feel safe out there or somthin, but the wave is just sooo damn fun so stuff it, Im out there!!!!!

i used to be a crayfisherman in two rocks, and the only place that i ever saw sharks was at the alkimos break. in the 5 years, i probably saw about 40 sharks there. Nothing huge but.
Ask the mindarie dive academy about the great white they saw while diving with a group at the alkimos. A guy took some great photos of it as it cruised overhead.
