A shallow coral reef (maximum about 8 m) on the east coast of New Providence with up to 25 m visibility and mild current. Violet corals, sea fans and sponges shelter parrotfish, stingrays, amberjacks, reef sharks and schools of goatfish and angelfish. Good for beginners or as a last dive of the day.
