Best for beginner divers, 1-3m, boat entry, moderate current.
Nook and Crannies is a shallow reef site located at Navy Pier, Australia, with depths ranging from 1 to 3 metres. This boat-accessible location is suitable for beginners, though it requires careful buoyancy control due to the presence of sharp coral. Visibility is consistently low at approximately 1 metre, making a torch useful for inspecting the reef structure. A moderate current is common, and snorkellers should assess conditions before entry. Due to the shallow nature of the reef, the site should only be snorkelled at high tide of 1.2 metres or higher to prevent damage to the coral structure.

Because visibility is consistently low, a torch will help you spot what is hiding in the reef structure even in daylight. Check locally for current conditions before heading out, as the current can push harder than expected for such a shallow site.
The site is accessed via a 3.5km (approx. 1 hour) kayak paddle south-south-west from the beach access track to the right of the Bundegi boat ramp. The site is marked with a blue mooring buoy labelled "Kayak 1 – Nook and Crannies".
