Seven Mile Reef is one of a series of named reef systems running along this stretch of coast, each broken into distinct sections that dive operators identify separately. Amphitheatre refers to one such section of Seven Mile Reef, reaching a maximum depth of around 30 metres and rated a beginner dive.
