Tregosse Reefs

Tregosse Reefs

The Tregosse Reefs are located in the central regions of the Coral Sea Territory, occupying the southwestern extremity of a much larger sunken atoll formation that also contains the Diamond Islets to the northeast. The Tregosse Reefs themselves, comprise two breaking reefs located upon the southern arm of this large feature; a deep channel cuts through the former atoll rim and separates the Tregosse Reefs from Southwest Diamond Islet — 14 km to the northeast.
