Bermuda Coral Reefs
Bad Caves
This reef site is located in the shallow reef area surrounding the Chubb Head Beacon. Here the main features are the vast mushroom shaped coral heads. These coral heads have formed a number of caves, overhangs and crevices.
Average depths are 25 to 30 feet with sections as shallow as 5 feet. Due to the complex nature of the reef structure and the lack of pattern, a guided tour is strongly recommended.
This site is particularly great for spotting different types of fishes due to its proximity to a fishery preserve. Large school of Barracuda and Parrot Fish are often seen at this site. The caves and overhangs offer protection for Lobsters, Glass-eyed Sweepers and large Groupers. Look out for Speckled Moray Eels hiding in the crevices of the reef.
The shallow depth of this site offers great visibility. This has always been a popular choice with photographers. Caves are the main attractions of this site. Minimal and streamlined diving gears are certainly a better choice for this site than the bulky technical equipment.
