Marine Life Network lists several offshore reef dives near Geraldton. Lighthouse Passage, in about 18 m, has good fish and coral coverage, with buffalo bream, kingfish, trevally, soft corals, stingrays and turtles. Hell's Gates, also about 18 m, is described as a strong reef ecosystem with jewfish (dhufish), kingfish, western blue devils, coral trout, baldchin groper and turtles. Shallow Reef, in 4-12 m, has soft corals, blue devils, rock lobsters and pineapple fish, and needs windless days.

These reefs reflect Geraldton's position in the transition zone, where tropical coral trout and turtles overlap with temperate dhufish, blue devils and pineapple fish. Public detail is limited to the Marine Life Network summaries and exact locations are not published. They are dived occasionally by the local dive shop and private boat owners, and offer a worthwhile alternative to the South Tomi on a calm day.

Geraldton is about 420 km (4.5 hours) north of Perth via the Brand Highway, with daily flights. Boats launch from the Batavia Coast Marina or the Geraldton boat harbour ramps (Fishing Boat Harbour, off Marine Terrace/Connell Road). These reefs are short boat runs (roughly 10-25 minutes) from Geraldton; marks are held locally.

Geraldton is one of the windiest towns in Australia: a strong southerly sea breeze blows most afternoons from October to April, often 20-30 knots, and winter brings north-westerly fronts. Marine Life Network estimates Point Moore is diveable only about 60 days a year, with the best windows in March-May and September-November, typically on early mornings or on rare days of easterly land breeze. Offshore reefs need swell under about 1.5 m and should be dived before the afternoon southerly; Shallow Reef requires windless days.

Descend the anchor line to about 15-18 m, circle the reef, then work shallower before returning to the anchor.
