Last dived the site in 1988, and haven't been there since but my dive log says it was a good dive. The reef as can be seen is quite big and can be dived on both sides, or from the North and southern tips of the reef. You will need to engage a local dive shop to organise a boat dive in the area.
Rocky bottom, swim throughs and gutters. Very rocky terrain with kelp gardens and abundant sponges. Approx 200m from Drum and Drumsticks.
