One of the best and most colourful shallow reef systems in the area with fingers of rock running parallel to the shore line.

 Mystery surrounds the naming of this reef as one train of thought would lead you to believe it was the resting place of a vessel called the Five Shears or Five Shires, although very little evidence proves or disproves this theory.

The finger reefs are a fantastic dive close to the boat ramp with absolutely loads of marine life.

Bleekers' Blue Devil fish hide in the many nooks, Nudibranchs swarm across the sessile areas and there is a very real chance of finding Wobbegong sharks under the many ledges. Several angel sharks have been sighted time and time again in the sand gutters.

 Many local divers rate this dive very highly for colour and sessile communities, that flourish here in the clear, often turbulent shallow water.        

 I have dived this site many, many times and am always amazed to find so much colour and diverse marine life, this site is always a pleasure to dive even when the viz is very poor.         

There is a very good area for researchers where life just seems to explode into your face whilst nearby you would be lucky to find a solitary Nudibranch. Strange indeed!         

Just a little bit further west is another reef that could very well be the same outcrop that lies in deeper water and hosts animals of the deeper waters, large gutters criss cross this area and the fish life is just awesome.

Must be a good possie for fishos with a lot of lost tackle on the bottom in the nearby sandy gutters.

Depths range from 12 to 18 metres.
