Spice Island Reef begins at a shallow mooring and opens into a large sandy area, sea plumes and a hard reef edge with rocks beyond. The site stays lively without being deep, with octopus, crabs, lobsters, lionfish and reef fish making it a good fit for beginners and photographers.

Scuba Diving
Route options include a large sand patch and a seaward swim to the reef edge between about 10–21 m, with rocks beyond the edge.
Freediving
Not a primary freedive target; the shallow mooring profile still fits scuba and photography better.
Snorkeling
Only the shallowest portion is snorkel-friendly, and current can make it a poor casual snorkel option once the tide moves.
