Mataking House Reef
The Mataking house reef starts directly off the golden beach in front of the dive centre and follows a line down to about 25 m. Nudibranchs, squat lobsters, stonefish, cuttlefish and blue-ringed octopus live on it; under the jetty there are schools of trevally, trumpetfish, batfish and large groupers.
