Goat Island's Shore Dive Sites

ABC bay - Dive in a bay with stingrays and blue maomao, over kelp forests and along cliff sides.
Shag Rock - A large, lone rock surrounded by kelp that is a favourite with the fish, which makes it a definite favourite of ours!

Waterfall Reef - Off out at the southern side of the channel, lots of schools and crayfish.
Caves - Anenomes, nudibranchs and sponges... this is one for the invertebrate and macro specialists.

Yellow Sponge Garden - Adventure through large crevices covered in kelp, discover hidden crayfish, bigeye and tiny triple fins.

Eagle Ray Flats - Eagle rays bask on the sand, schools of fish hang out and feed in the currents while our famous snapper cruise around curiously.

​All dives are conducted from the shore, within the Goat Island Marine Reserve.

NB: Not all dive spots are available at all times, both current and tides have to be right to enter some of them. Some of the dive spots also require a surface swim. If you want to do one in particular please contact us before booking.
