    Reef's End really pulls its weight, especially if you’re into the smaller stuff. We love dropping in here on a calm morning, just as the sun angles into the reef, lighting up all the tiny nooks and crannies. You'll often spot Dwarf Morays peering out from under ledges, their little heads barely visible. It’s also one of our favourite spots for observing the resident Boomerang Triggerfish, always busy, always curious. The sheer variety of surgeonfish – Blackspot, Bluelined, Ring-tailed, Bristletoothed – makes for some serious fish-spotting challenges; try to identify them all. Keep an eye on the sand patches too; the Spotted Puffers often hang out there, looking a bit disgruntled. We've also had some fantastic encounters with Wedge-tailed Shearwaters diving for fish just above the surface during our safety stops. It’s a site that rewards slow, deliberate diving, perfect for photographers or anyone who likes to take their time and truly observe.
