Aquarium
Beginner-friendly bommie reef off Beau Vallon
Short boat run, low current, and enough coral structure for easy skills work or relaxed sightseeing around the bommies.
About Aquarium
Aquarium is a compact bommie reef off Beau Vallon with sand between the coral heads and an easy, sheltered profile. Short boat drops keep the approach simple, and the site works best when the sea is calm enough for relaxed reef cruising, training drills, and an unhurried look at the fish life around the bommies. Low current usually keeps it comfortable, but surface awareness still matters because boat traffic threads the area.

Freediving
