Acerca de Big Anchor
Big Anchor es un sitio de buceo en arrecife conocido por una gran ancla antigua apoyada sobre el fondo marino, con otras anclas dispersas cerca. El conjunto de anclas le da al lugar un aire histórico distintivo y sugiere que alguna vez fue un puerto natural de uso frecuente. El terreno se centra en el arrecife y en el campo de anclas, lo que facilita orientarse en el sitio. Los buceadores suelen buscar vida de arrecife residente como meros y morenas, y también pueden aparecer peces depredadores más grandes como dentones y serviolas.
