About Harrison Cove

Harrison Cove is a Fiordland scuba site known for a sloping seabed and scattered rocky outcrops. The dive typically starts over shallow gravel and follows the incline down toward a muddy, sandy bottom. Black coral is reported on some of the rocks, and the area is noted for frequent shark encounters such as dogsharks and seven‑gill sharks. Plan a profile that suits a steadily changing bottom rather than a flat reef.
