Coral Garden is a boat-access reef dive a short ride from Praslin, with soft and hard corals spread across a relaxed reef structure. It is a forgiving stop that works well for beginner-friendly outings and easy reef touring, with abundant reef fish and schools of yellow snappers. Plan for a calm boat day rather than a deep profile, and expect a site that rewards steady buoyancy over speed.
