This is a favorite night dive spot since it's shallow and close to many hotels. It's also a good shore dive, but watch out for boat traffic. Reef South is home to many tame fish so if you're hoping to see large filefish or French and gray angelfish within arms' reach, you won't be disappointed. Look in the crevices for squirrelfish and critters that seek shelter there. Depending on conditions, this can be a drift dive, or a leisurely swim along one or both of these coral ridges.
Concrete steps provide easy access to the ocean.
Beginning in 10 feet of water, there are large schools of tame grunts and snappers that are found under ledges within a few yards of the steps. The area just offshore has tall patch reefs separated by sand channels. The bases of these coral heads are good spots to find spotted drums and jackknife fish. Local tourist interests have placed a small fishing boat on the bottom and an assortment of old cannons and anchors on the sand flats near shore. This is a good one for diversity of marine life, easy access, and convenient facilities.
