About This Dive Spot
Rolly's Reef is located approximately 20 minutes west of Papatura and features an overhanging wall that is best explored while drifting with the current. Morning dives are optimal due to sunlight illuminating the site, while later in the day, it tends to be shadier. The site can be affected by large swells, particularly when winds are directed towards it. Divers can expect to encounter a variety of larger reef fish, including Red Bass, Passionfruit Trout, coral trout, and cod. Additionally, reef sharks are often seen swimming through the area, displaying curious behavior. The site offers several swim-throughs for divers to navigate.
