About Aussie’s Reef, Gneering Shoals
Aussie's Reef is one of the easier Gneering Shoals dives, with a compact reef rise that stands proud of the surrounding sand and gives divers a simple circuit around coral-covered structure, ledges, and fish life. It works well as a relaxed Sunshine Coast boat dive because the reef top is easy to read, the surrounding sand keeps navigation straightforward, and there is enough structure to hold turtles, rays, reef fish, and the occasional resting shark.
