About Table Top
Table Top on Norman Reef is a prominent outer-reef bommie with plate coral across the shallow crown and a deeper perimeter where sharks, turtles, and reef fish are regularly seen. It is usually dived by boat in moving water, so the site rewards divers who are comfortable with current, blue-water positioning, and outer-reef conditions.
