WHANGATUPERE BAY

Calcareous Sponges

Between Matai Bay and Knuckle Point, NORTHLAND
Depth: 0-28m
Some interesting and not often dived reefs in the bay. Good schools of maomao and a few snapper near the kelp. Not as many crayfish as you would think for such an isolated area. Beautiful colour below the kelp and in the sponge gardens that start at 18m.
