DANIELS REEF

Porcupine Fish
300m off Crabb Bay, Leigh 
Depth: 5-18m (shore dive)
A reef that rises close to the surface 300m off the coast. At 10m some kelp covers the rock and underneath in the deep holes are a few crayfish. Schools of kahawai are common in the shallows and kingfish in summer. The odd very big snapper and porae sometimes mooch about where the kelp and rock meets the sand. Look for porcupine fish amongst the kelp.
