Great article tim. I just wanted to reassure you that the reef is still pretty amazing. I go out there on a weekly basis. Although yes there is some damage, like you say mainly to the stag horn corals and table corals. Its not destroyed and still amazing out there.

Nick

Clifton Gardens has always rated as one of my favourite Sydney night dives. I know - a maximum depth of 4m under the jetty means you could snorkel it with short length of garden hose, but it never fails to deliver a unique and unexpected encounter with interesting critters.
