Rolly’s Reef
About Rolly’s Reef
Rolly’s Reef is an overhanging wall site located about twenty minutes west of Papatura. It’s commonly dived as a drift, letting the current carry you along either direction. Morning dives are favored because sunlight reaches the wall then, while later in the day it can be more shaded. The site can also be affected by large swell when winds blow toward it.
