Friars Bay Reef

Every diver's favorite dive is Friars Bay Reef. It has been a favourite location for many and will always give a beautiful easy reef dive with much to see. It is located approximately a mile from the beach. Large lobsters and spotted morays, as well as juvenile angelfish, abound.

Stingrays have taken up residence on the sand along the reef's borders, seemingly unaffected by the curious diver. South Friars Bay has by far the greatest snorkeling. The Friars Bay Reef is plainly seen from the beach, which is only around 20 yards away. On the northwest end of the reef, directly outside the Carambola Beach Club, is the ideal location to enter.

After you've descended from Timothy Hill, there's a sign for the beach club on the road. Swim to the reef's outer edge and swim parallel to it (Southeast). Continue to swim; there are plenty of fish and other aquatic life to see. Because the top of the reef is sometimes just below the water's surface, you won't be able to cross to the beach side. There's no need to be concerned because the finest snorkeling is on the reef's periphery. It is alright if you simply swam around the perimeter of the reef. Sea Urchins and Fire Coral are also present.
