About this site
Asta Reef is a reef dive off Barbados, usually done as a combination dive with Friar's Craig. It is a beginner dive to around 24 metres with a light current. Snappers, barracudas, angelfish and stingrays are plentiful here, along with lobsters, and the site is great for photography.
Divers have also reported turtles, moray eels, lionfish and reef sharks on the reef.
