Location and Access
It is located at the mouth of Port Hacking on the southern outskirts of the city.. When the depth sounder shows
the wall dropping from 11 to 16 metres that is where you should anchor. The whole wall is bigger; it rises from
the sandy bottom at 24 metres to 11 metres (6 fathoms) before levelling of.
Description
If you have anchored on the south eastern section of the reef, you should find the reef here to be the most
distinct. Swimming westwards you should find diving conditions being better as you go along. Although
many people feel that this reef has little to offer scuba divers, it is a great site for rougher sea
conditions or for novice divers.
There are a couple of small overhangs and some swim-throughs that offer hiding places for all kinds of fish
and sea life. Having followed the reef for 20 minutes, you should then start thinking about returning to the
anchor line. This dive is not just suited for bad weather; the site itself is worth diving and is often used
as second dive because of its shallow nature and close proximity to Port Hacking.
