Beacon Reef

★★★★☆ (312)

Popular dive site, especially for night dives. It features a sloping reef, dropping from 5m to 35m+, with predominately hard corals. A notable highlight is the “Atlantis X“ wreck, a sunken liveaboard resting on the reef slope. Visibility is generally good, and currents are mild to moderate

Predominantly hard corals, with over 300 species. Expect abundant reef fish, moray eels, nudibranchs, shrimp, scorpionfish, batfish, snappers, and lionfish.
