Chapel Reef
About Chapel Reef
Named for the Catholic chapel visible from nearby, this site starts as a sloping reef with scattered coral bommies. The terrain then steepens into a wall with numerous cracks and crevices, including cavern-like recesses and overhangs covered in soft and hard corals. The area supports a variety of marine vertebrates, invertebrates, and marine reptiles, and thresher sharks have been recorded passing by in the blue water.
