Also lying on the southern side of Mahurangi Island and just off Te Tio Island, this sight has a large swim through at around 28m with walls covered in the colorful jewel anemones and a pinnacle rising to 5m. The resident fish are big marble fish and demoiselles but the schooling fish are attracted to the pinnacles. If wall diving is your thing, you will really enjoy this dive. The bay is very sheltered from the north and west winds and there is ample area to spend your dive in less than 18m with heaps of black angelfish and leatherjackets in the 10m range.
