Coral Bay Reef is a sheltered dive site acting as a nesting site for fish and coral within the Marine Protected Area. At one end of the dive site there is a steep slope which gives way to a uniform reef system dropping down to 40m. Schooling blue stripe snappers and humpback snappers swarm around the pillars of reef outcrop and amazing topography is guaranteed. Octopus can also be found hiding amongst the whole reef system. Green turtles are often seen feeding on algae and sea grass whilst Hawksbill turtles enjoy sponges and soft coral growing on the reef system and sandy bottom. Coral Bay dive site offers rich and healthy table corals in big sizes with diverse marine life living in symbiotic relationships.
