Around the Bend is located close to Osprey Reef in Australia, and has 2 possible routes for diving: an easy dive at the lagoon area, and a long, deep drift dive. The coral rubble divides the reef in two sections, and a bommie serves as a natural cleaning station. A sandy channel leads to a shallow lagoon that has its entrance marked by an enormous boulder.
