About Spanish Bay Reef
Spanish Bay Reef is a popular shore dive with a short swim from the breakwater to a mini wall that runs parallel to the shoreline. Higher tide is the better window because visibility holds up more reliably, while low tide can flatten the site. It suits relaxed reef dives and snorkelers on calm days, but it is less rewarding when the tide drops.
