Baracuda Point is a very good reef dive where you will find impressive coral formations in the sand. There is a rock at 20 meters depth reaching up to about 14 meters which is completely covered in different colourful soft corals and full of marine life.
In the sandy areas you will find hundreds of Garden Eels sticking out of their holes, waiting for food to pass by. When you get too close they sink back into their holes. The reef is protected by two islands, therfore we seldom have any strong currents here. The reef starts at 5 meters and slopes down to about 25 meters.
This dive site is known under a few different names, Baracuda Point, Eel Garden, Hideaway and Anitas Reef. Hideaway, though, is rather the western side of island #5, while the main part of the dive site is situated on the eastern side of Island #6 and #5, stretching to the southern side of island #5. |
