Pilena Reef
★★★★★
(18)
Fifteen mins east of Papatura lies Pilena Reef. The reef begins at four meters down to twenty meters deep. This site is exposed to large swell if high winds occur. Light current can occur but this site is relatively protected underneath.
Large golden coral structures coat the reef wall. Lots of nudibranch can be found here. Large array of marine species live in the coral in the first fifteen meters. Less at depth.
