Best for advanced divers, 25-30m, boat entry, variable current.
Long Reef (South) is a marine site featuring a reef and wall topography suitable for advanced divers. The site is accessed exclusively by boat and requires careful planning due to variable currents that can run strong. Divers typically explore depths between 25 and 30 metres, where visibility can reach up to 19 metres, though conditions fluctuate. The site supports night diving for those seeking a different perspective. Due to the presence of sharks and the potential for shifting currents, divers must maintain solid buoyancy control and carry surface marker buoys.
