Hapuka Rock (Hereheretaura Pinnacle)

This dive site is located off the coast, heading towards Hot Water Beach. The reef rises dramatically from the ocean floor to a maximum depth of 5 meters. On the western end, the depth reaches 20 meters. It’s exposed to easterly and southerly swells and wind. The reef features steep, colourful walls that are home to roaming pelagic fish, particularly during the summer months.
