About this site
Turtle Reef is a crescent-shaped reef reached on afternoon boat dives. It drops quickly from a plateau that starts at 12 metres (40 feet) to more than 45 metres (150 feet), and spectacular pillar coral and barrel sponges can be seen along it.
Hawksbill and green turtles are very likely to be seen here, because the reef lies next to turtle grass beds.
