From the beach at Pirate Bay you can step right into the water! The reef starts with some sand but slowly slopes down to the wall that continues up to 40m. Along the way you will come across a pier and jetty on poles. You will also find a research station there.

Entering at the end of the breakwaters, 3 meters/9 feet; this first part with a sand bottom with many yellowhead jawfishes along the tick rope can be used as a guide to the drop-off at 12 meters/40 feet.

In 1942 the USS Erie was torpedoed in this area and put ashore. From the ship a Kingfisher plane was thrown overboard and you can still find some wreckage of the plane as well as some parts of the Erie here. The ship itself is not here and was sunk several miles of the coast.
