MAHURANGI IS/ GOAT IS
★★★★☆
(297)
2 tractors were sunk here to make an artificial reef Many moons ago. This is a sandy bottom with small broken reef that borders on the Hahei marine reserve. Great for beginners and OW1 and 2. Easy navigation and is protected from most weather.
Lots of goat fish snapper and various other fish species. Usually a good spot to see eagle rays and little schools of squid.
