Anthony’s Reef is a fringing reef on the east side of Peel Island with coral bommies, purple soft coral, and barrel sponges. Currents can pick up at times, but the bommies give divers shelter and keep the profile comfortable when conditions are steady. Schooling fish are common, so it works well as an all-round reef dive.
