Tabletop Reef

Tabletop Reef really shines for us on those calm days when the sun cuts through the water, lighting up the kelp fronds. We love dropping onto those steep bommies, seeing the sponges and anemones plastered to the rock. It’s not a deep dive, rarely going past 16 metres, which means plenty of bottom time to poke around. Keep an eye out for the triplefins, especially the Blue-eyed and Longfinned, they’re everywhere, darting between the kelp stalks. We’ve had some fantastic encounters with inquisitive green rock lobsters here, too. Follow the reef north, and it gradually flattens into a mixed kelp and sponge garden before hitting the sand. That sandy edge is often where you'll spot pigfish, and if you’re lucky, a ray cruising past. Visibility here can vary, but on a good day, it’s a brilliant macro site and a relaxed swim-through for divers who enjoy taking their time. It’s a perfect chill-out dive, especially if the weather's a bit frisky elsewhere.
