Quarter mile reef is a small reef located about 400m north east of Jesser point. It is a reef full of cracks and small overhangs. It is surrounded by sand on which rays can be seen. This reef is quite shallow, 7m-11m but it has a lot of fish life and a lot of different varieties of fish on it. This is due to there being no fishing and little diving on this reef, they grow to a relatively big size with boxfish reaching 40cm 50 cm. In the summer months a few ragged tooth sharks always come to gestate and groups of 40 sharks have been reported although due to diver impact this has been reduced to about 8 sharks a year. Current measures for ensuring that the sharks stay are that no one may dive here without a Kwa-Zulu Natal Conservation Service accredited DM. |
