Boat-access coral garden with table corals and wall sections.
Coral Garden is a boat-access reef with a shallow coral plateau, table corals and a wall-like edge that give it two distinct faces in one dive. The top is easy to read, while the outer side rewards slower passes for macro life, reef fish and occasional bigger visitors. It suits calm, guided dives and photographers who like a shallow start with more structure below.
