Shore Dives
Red Bait Reef
This is perfect for the beginner diver or those wanting to
refresh their skills on a shallower site. Octopus and starfish
share their space with the red bait that gives this reef its
name. Juvenile tropical fish are often spotted and schools
of strepies sway gently in the shallows.
Shallow Blinders:
The shallower side of a trio of submerged pinnacles
close to shore. This reef is a good place to spot raggies
in season and is covered in anemones, sponges and fans. Seals
occasionally visit the divers on this reef.
