Hommer Reef

Hommer Reef is one of those spots that just keeps giving, especially when the current isn’t ripping through. We usually drop in just off the pinnacle, which breaks the surface, then let the cone-shaped reef guide us down to around 23 metres. It’s an easy circumnavigation if conditions are calm, perfect for really taking your time. The schooling fish here are what we love most. Think thick clouds of blue maomao, trevally, and kahawai, sometimes so dense they dim the light filtering down from the surface. Keep an eye out into the blue for kingfish cruising by, they often appear out of nowhere. We’ve even had a few fleeting glimpses of short-tail stingrays on the sand patches at the base. For a relatively shallow pinnacle dive, Hommer packs a punch, suiting divers who appreciate big fish action and an easygoing reef exploration. It’s our pick for a relaxing dive with plenty to see without needing to go deep.
