Island-scale approximation between North and South Button.
MNP day trip, often combined with South or North Button depending on permit and sea. Mid-distance in the Button chain; typically a two-tank park day from Havelock. Live-boat along a short reef wall.
Open Water
Hazards
- moderate · Remote
No jetty, no backup centre. Weather, fuel and pickup discipline matter more than on inshore sites.
- moderate · Park regulations
Same MNP rules as South and North Button. Operator carries the permit.
- low · Current on the wall
Usually milder than the offshore trinity, but the wall can still run.
Marine life
Typical: reef wall, soft coral, hard coral, turtle, reef fish, fusiliers
Seasonal: reef shark, better vis in the December–April window
