Guinjata local reef
At a depth of between 9 and 26m, the Guinjata Local Reefs are located approximately 1km from the launch site and has 6 dive sites providing a variety of diving options.
* Pao Rock (12-18m) and Pinnacles are a macro photographer's first choice with brightly coloured nudibrances, well camouflaged leaf fish and a variety of shrimp.
* Cave (9-12m) is an amphitheatre with swim-through cave that features a resident dragon moray, puffer fish, miniature tobies as well as murex and conch shells.
* Devil's Peak (12-18m) is an almost free standing rock with a swim-through and is home to Potato Bass, banded cleaner shrimp and frogfish.
Paindane reef
The strong current around the reef has earned its nickname “Paindane Express”. The reef starts close to shore in about 18m of water and runs rapidly down to 35m. Brilliantly coloured corals, Gorgonian sea fans, fast moving game fish and occasional sighting of reef sharks make for a particularly interesting dive.
