Divers must cross a boating channel to reach the reef, making the use of a dive flag or surface marker buoy essential. The reef structure features staghorn and plate corals, with some areas consisting of coral rubble following a 2011-2012 bleaching event.

The best drift conditions typically align with the morning tide, and boat traffic is noticeably lighter before mid-morning. Jellyfish and stronger-than-expected current surges are both real considerations here, so a surface marker buoy is worth carrying on every dive.
The site is less than a 15-minute drive north of Exmouth and is accessible by 2WD vehicles. The reef is a 200-300 metre swim from the shore.
