Waterfall Reef

★★★★☆ (28)

Located in the far Eastern side of the channel, hugging closer to the mainland. Depths from 10m !!! Notable water movement and currents with easterly conditions such and wind and swell. Tide timing is important for this dive site - incoming to slack tide is the best for it to be easier to get back to shore.

Classic go to wildlife seen: snapper, red moki, eagle rays, silver drummer, etc. Tall kelp rock formations with sandy/shell bottom. Possibility of seals during winter,
