Name: The name "Tony's Reef" may refer to a local dive boat skipper who has worked in this area for a long time. Depth: Maximum about 14 m on the sand bottom. Marine life: Marine life is typical of this part of False Bay. There are sea fans, encrusting sponges, false corals, and red bait in the shallower areas. Burrowing anemones have been seen at the sandy edge of the reef. Photography: Macro photography is most likely to produce good results. Alternatively, you can try wide-angle with either natural lighting or external flash to reduce backscatter. Topography: Fairly rugged reef with medium to large ridges and outcrops sloping down fairly steeply to shelly pebble zone and finally sand bottom. The sand may be in two zones, fine sand inshore with small wave ripples, and further out coarse shelly sand with large ripples. The reef structure is basically east-west ridges and gullies, some of which are very broken up and not easily recognisable. There are some transverse gullies superposed on this basic structure, which run inshore-offshore, some of which have a bottom of clean, well-rounded boulders, indicating strong wave action in rough weather.
