About This Dive Spot
Whibbles Reef is a deep water site characterized by a combination of hard corals, expansive sea plumes, and significant sand patches and valleys. The reef's top reaches a depth of 17 meters (50 feet) and descends to 51 meters (150 feet). This depth attracts a variety of large pelagic species, and under favorable current conditions, divers may also encounter smaller marine creatures. Notably, during July and August, the adult male Quillfinn blenny can be observed in the sand, displaying vibrant colors to attract mates. Year-round, divers can expect to see stingrays, turtles, large jacks, and barracuda in abundance.
