Yellowstone Reef

Before the reef, the seagrass hides sea moths and pipehorses, and a torpedo ray may swim past. The reef top carries two pinnacles with red sponges and many nudibranchs, while its flanks drop from about 18 to 30 m like a small wall. Deeper down there are large black coral bushes, lunar-tailed groupers, stingrays and Napoleon wrasse. Beyond 30 m three deep pinnacles, canyons and arches make it a training ground for deep and technical divers. The shore entry has sharp rubble and urchins.
