MFlower Garden is an outside edge, with several fingers extending seaward. Depths about 52 feet on top of the fingers, 70 feet in sand between. Edges on both sides and west end of the fingers. In bright sunshine, perhaps the most colorful reef in the area. Profuse sponge and coral growth, and clouds of grunts so large, fellow divers cannot be seen on the other side of the school. All the common reef fish in abundance. Look at the HUGE barrel sponges on the top of the reef. They are often called the “redwoods of the ocean” as the large ones can be 500 years old or more.

Great dive for Open Water and Advanced Divers
