General: This is a large flat circular reef made up of rock and large plate corals with an assortment of beautiful soft corals and sponges. All the normal tropical fish can be seen as well as Crocodile fish, Stonefish, Lionfish and often a school of juvenile Barracuda. This is one of the only inshore reefs where Manta's can be seen, often cavorting on the surface. It is common to see Whale Sharks, Humpback and Bryde's Whales on the journey. This reef is named after the very large and old sailing ship's anchor which can be seen there.
After the recent underwater cleanup this reef is once again pristine. With no current and little surge Anchor Bay is a favorite for divers in training and for those who want a long slow shallow dive to help them get back into the swing of things. |
