Jardines Reef

The Jardines Reef is probably one of the most beautiful of our shallow dives. With little to no current, you dive along a typical fringing reef here.

Small Caves

A small ledge, about 1 to 1.5 meters (3–5 ft) high, which is permanently on our left shoulder, often offers small caves and shelters for many creatures. Here, in addition to lobsters, scorpionfish, trumpetfish, and flamingo tongues, large schools of jackfish and yellowstripe barracudas can also be found.

Dive Site

With a bit of luck, you might even encounter turtles here, or even bull sharks during the winter months. Jardines is a dive site where anything is possible, from many small and juvenile fish to large schools of fish.

Dive Depth

With a maximum dive depth of 12.5 meters (41 ft), this dive site is ideal for beginners as well as for photographers.
