About Northern Exposure
Northern Exposure is the northern end of Bass Reef, a gentle coral reef with finger-like formations, sandy pockets, and enough structure to keep a relaxed reef dive varied. It is easy to read in the water and stays focused on the reef rather than on dramatic drops or wreck features. Expect wrasse, goatfish, parrotfish, barracuda, jacks, morays, turtles, shrimp, crabs, and the occasional nurse shark or stingray around the coral. It works well as a straightforward boat dive for divers who want calm reef time with good fish life.
