Dunedin Reef is a shallow artificial reef off Dunedin built from concrete boxes, culverts, rubble, and pyramid structures. The north end has higher relief, while the southern pyramid area sits farther from the center. It is best treated as a boat dive with careful navigation, slow buoyancy, and a dive light for working the openings when wind or plankton tighten visibility.
