Barracuda Reef

French Grunt (haemulon flavolineatum), Gray Snapper (lutjanus griseus)& Smallmouth Grunt (haemulon chrysargyreum)

14m maximum depth

There are many overhangs and holes with abundant small reef fish and morays, either spotted or green. The coral here is very rich and varied. It has arguably the biggest variety and number of sponges and echinoderms of all our reefs.

One of the inlets along its contour is known for harboring the occasional, but not uncommon scorpion fish.

Barracuda, stingrays and turtles visit this reef.
