About Corsair Reef
Corsair Reef is a shallow coral reef with easy anchoring and a short boat run from the Beau Vallon side. It works well for beginner scuba, snorkel, and relaxed sightseeing because the profile stays compact and the current is usually light. Expect colorful reef fish, turtles, and the occasional shark or ray when conditions stay calm enough for easy cruising.
