CONE ROCK

Seaweed
5km north of Taupo Bay, NORTHLAND
Depth: 0-32m
Nice reefs and usually a few fish schools. Big kingfish in summer. Crayfish amongst the boulders under the kelp. Look for schools of goatfish, butterfly perch and mado. Some nice walls on the seaward side with heaps of invertebrate life including gorgonians and sponge gardens from about 20m.
