About this site
Swiss Reef is a coral garden off Rarotonga with depths of 12 to 20 metres, suitable for all divers. It is rumoured to be named after popular visitors from Switzerland to the island.
The garden has the usual reef residents to seek out and plenty of coral to explore. It is a favourite hangout for the elusive Spanish Dancer nudibranch and the whitemouth moray.
