About 3 Sisters
3 Sisters is a three-pinnacle reef line on the Rakiraki side of Bligh Water, with a swim-through on one pinnacle, coral-covered ridges between the formations, and a sandy base that keeps the dive open and easy to read. It suits relaxed scouting for macro life while still leaving room for larger reef encounters.
