About Cathedral Reef

This dive site is situated on a reef that runs east to west on the eastern edge of the main shipping channel. The top of the reef is in 20 plus metres of water. Most of the time at this dive site will be spent in the 30 to 40 metre depth range and therefore requires Advanced and Technical Certification. The name "Cathedral" arises from the fantastic pinnacle and bommies that rise 4 or 5 metres above the top of the reef. This site can only be dived when there is no shipping and at slack water at the end of the ebb tide. Check shipping timetables prior to diving this site.
