NORTH REEF

Diver with finger sponge
200km NW Goat Island, Leigh 
Depth: 0-20m
Kelp forests cover the shallow reef and the vertical walls are covered in colourful invertebrates. Big schools of silver drummer cruise around and huge snapper are common. The cracks are home to large crayfish and yellow moray eels. Often huge schools of kahawai feed on the surface. At 15m the sponge gardens start with butterfly perch and demoiselle schools over them.
