About Tony's Reef
Tony's Reef is a boat-access False Bay reef off Gordon's Bay, built around broken ridges, gullies, and outcrops that taper into a pebble-and-sand finish. It suits divers who like compact rocky structure, macro subjects, and easy-leaning reef diving, but it becomes less comfortable when south-westerly swell pushes extra surge through the site.
