Winslow Reef
Why dive here
With 134+ marine species recorded in the area - including humpback whales and pufferfish - Winslow Reef offers some of Rarotonga's richest reef diving. Water ranges 24-28°C, warmest February, March, April.
Winslow Reef offers a solid Rarotonga dive, especially if you're keen on seeing some of the bigger pelagics passing through. We've often found grey reef sharks cruising along the deeper sections here, with decent schools of fusiliers and snapper hanging around the coral bommies. It's a site that generally suits those comfortable with a bit of current and looking for a more open-ocean feel to their dive.
