Table Rock Reef
Location |
Table Rock Reef, Ricketts Point. MAP |
Depth |
4 to 6 meters |
Entry |
Its an entry from rocks which are very flat and even. Gear up at
the car and put fins on in waste high water only 1 meter in from the
rocks. |
Bottom |
Mostly rocky reef with lots of kelp and weed. Plenty of hard coral
which is hard to believe since it is only 30 meters from shore and
at the north end of the bay. It has been made a Marine Park for a
reason as it is a very nice reef which needed to be protected, so
its a NO TAKE SITE. |
Life |
Leather jackets, garfish, snapper, whiting, eels, usual fish. Lots
of shrimp and sea cucumbers. |
Comments |
Great dive and will also suit snorkling as its very nice in the
shallows along the cliffs back to mentone. Heaps of hard coral ranging
in color makes this site a good change from the normal pier dives.
Its a marine park so no taking anything from the water or leaving
anything behind. The reef is damaged and has seen better days but
is a very good dive if you pick the right day. |
Parking |
No parking nearby so you must park in Rennison st and walk across
beach road right on the bend so watch out for cars. 80 meter walk
from the car to the water so its not that far. |
Two huge round formations of hard coral.

Green hard coral.




Heres some light blue hard coral. There is heaps of this around in colors
from yellow, orange, green, blue and white.
