Baxter’s Reef
★★★★☆
(502)
Baxters Reef is an easy beautiful shore dive, great for training and beginner level divers. The inside of the reef is often protected from swell and wind. The outer is more exposed but offers deeper water (8-16m) and more fish life. Straight forward dive with easy navigation and a clear reef to follow.
You can see heavy kelp with a wide variety of plant life including Bull Kelp, Sea Fans and Brown Kelp
