About Sardine Run Reef

A reef dive. It goes down to 18 m. You get in from a boat. It suits experienced divers only, as a dive guide states it. The coast faces SE: swell from the SE reaches it, and wind from the NW blows out to sea. No dive centre within 50 km on the map: book a liveaboard or a boat from further off. The sea is about 21°C in August, its coldest month (5 mm wetsuit), and 26°C in February, its warmest (3 mm wetsuit). The town to stay in is Port Edward.
