Dive-site story
Located off Moreton Island within the Moreton Bay Marine Park, this subtropical reef feature centers around shallow coral bommies that serve as active grooming stations for marine reptiles. Green and loggerhead turtles congregate regularly around the formations, hovering motionless or resting on hard coral plates while cleaner wrasses and surgeonfish pick at algae and parasites on their shells. Sandy channels weave between the coral structures, providing resting spots for benthic rays and bottom-dwelling sharks.
