Site details

Tori's Reef is a south-central shore dive near the salt pier with large stands of elkhorn coral and a sandy bottom where southern stingrays and eagle rays are often found. The reef slopes from about 6m to 30m with healthy coral and reef fish, making it an easy and rewarding dive. Its proximity to the Hilma Hooker makes it a convenient pairing.
