About This Dive Spot
Ann's Reef is located at the northern end of the Poor Knights Islands, featuring a pinnacle that rises approximately 15 meters from the main island. The channel separating the reef from the island reaches depths of around 20 meters, while the outer edges of the reef descend to about 60 meters. The summit of the reef, situated at a depth of 6 meters, serves as an ideal location for safety stops. The reef is characterized by a kelp-covered top and outer walls, with the inner side displaying a greater abundance of encrusting marine life due to reduced light. Divers can expect to encounter large schools of fish as well as various small critters along the walls.
