About this site
Anchor Reef lies off Efate in Vanuatu, offering vibrant coral gardens teeming marine life. The site features dramatic drop-offs and swim-throughs, with strong currents attracting pelagics like barracuda and reef sharks. Soft corals flourish along the reef walls, while turtles and colorful reef fish are common. Visibility often exceeds 30 meters, with water temperatures around 26-28°C year-round. Best suited for intermediate to advanced divers due to currents. A true Pacific gem.
