Oval Reef consists of several patches of reef surrounding a large central reef that is oval in shape. With the shallowest point at just 3 metres, it is ideal for snorkelling and beginner divers.

Tribe Gate/Oval reef is not one reef, but several patches of reefs around the bigger reef which is, well, you guessed right, oval-shaped! The shallowest part of the reef is about 3 metres / 10 feet and the deepest part is about 15 metres / 50 feet. Schools of juvenile pick handle barracudas, two-spot snappers, and fusiliers are found in this area. In the shallows, you will hear the loud crunching of humphead parrotfish before you see them. Octopuses, colourful nudibranchs, and a variety of anemonefish are also spotted here.

Tribe Gate is a small submerged seamount surrounded on all sides by sand. Special residents that we are always on a look out for include the scribbled filefish, yellowtail barracuda, striped surgeonfish, Beaufort’s crocodile flathead, unicornfish, banded sea kraits.

This shallow reef is part of the continuous fringing reef that runs along the north eastern coast of Havelock Island. It is the house reef for centers close by.

A very pretty fringing reef off the East side of Peel Island. Currents can sometimes pick up here, but there are lots of coral bommies to hide behind.

Pilot Reef is a fairly large, shallow reef surrounded by sand. The main attraction of Pilot Reef is a family of resident leopard sharks who can often be found on the sandy patches surrounding the coral.
