Description

The most accessible dive site in the Freycinet Marine Park (South-east Network) is known to local fishers as ‘Joe’s Reef’, an unusual 200m-long granite reef surrounded by sandy substrate. This reef is located 11 km off the coast and sits between 59–83m depth. Large numbers of tree-forming black corals amongst spectacularly diverse gardens of sponges, soft corals and bryozoans.
