Description

Goat Island's Shore Dive Sites ABC bay - Dive in a bay with stingrays and blue maomao, over kelp forests and along cliff sides.
 Shag Rock - A large, lone rock surrounded by kelp that is a favourite with the fish, which makes it a definite favourite of ours! Waterfall Reef - Off out at the southern side of the channel, lots of schools and crayfish.
 Caves - Anenomes, nudibranchs and sponges... this is one for the invertebrate and macro specialists. Yellow Sponge Garden - Adventure through large crevices covered in kelp, discover hidden crayfish, bigeye and tiny triple fins. Eagle Ray Flats - Eagle rays bask on the sand, schools of fish hang out and feed in the currents while our famous snapper cruise around curiously. All dives are conducted from the shore, within the Goat Island Marine Reserve.

 NB: Not all dive spots are available at all times, both current and tides have to be right to enter some of them. Some of the dive spots also require a surface swim.
