Far Garden
The northernmost of The Gardens, typically a drift starting at two coral pinnacles that reach almost to the surface, then along a steep wall with soft and hard corals. The outer corner is a channel for big fish: eagle rays, barracuda and turtles, and in summer whale sharks and mantas have been reported.
