Anchor Bay is one of our shallowest dive sites just off Barra beach. Perfect for training and for a nice gentle, slow and relaxing dive. The reef is large and quite flat with a few small pinnacles rising up here and there. Look out for the big ships anchor that gives this site its name. There are lots of assorted colours over the reef, staghorn and porous corals, plus anemones and sea urchins. These are home to many juvenile fish, look for beautiful Emperor Angelfish, baby Lionfish, Butterfly and Clown fish. There are also Crocodile, Stone and Scorpionfish around and a family of three Titan Triggerfish, also look out for round and bluespotted ribbontail rays and octopus. As a nice bonus this is one of the only in-shore reefs where you can see Manta's, usually frolicking on the surface.
General info:This is a very pleasant site and we can dive here with all experience levels and in most conditions.
