About this place
What to expect
Eddy Reef is located off Mission Beach and is accessible on day boats. Divers exploring this reef will find a maze of coral ridges in depths from 10 to 20 metres that are covered in some of the most beautiful corals – wide gorgonians, lovely pink whip corals and delicate soft corals. Between these corals live angelfish, surgeonfish, boxfish, pufferfish, lionfish, wrasse and many other reef species. Some of the larger fish found at Eddy Reef include barramundi cod, coral trout and gropers, but a close inspection of the coral will also reveal many small critters like nudibranchs, flatworms, shrimps and coral crabs.
