About this site
This site off Otago's coast is a thrilling drift dive with strong currents, attracting large schools of barracouta and blue cod. The reef's steep walls drop to 40 meters, covered in colorful sponges and kelp forests. Watch for fur seals playing in the surge. Visibility often exceeds 20 meters, but cold waters require proper thermal protection. Best suited for advanced divers due to challenging conditions.
