About Middle Cay
Middle Cay is a boat-access sloping reef that starts in whip corals and gorgonians before easing into deeper water. The site is colorful and healthy rather than flashy, so the best plan is a clean descent, steady trim, and a slow look for morays, lobsters, snapper, tuna, and the larger fish moving through the shallows.

Scuba
