    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Goose Rock Reef offers a straightforward dive, shallow at just 10 metres. It’s a good spot for newer divers looking to get comfortable in temperate waters. You'll likely see wrasse darting among kelp, along with various crustaceans tucked into crevices. It’s not a dramatic dive, but it's reliably accessible when conditions are calm.
