Sponge Garden

The reef runs from Lazy Beach towards the west and owes its name to the big barrel sponges that cover it. Scorpionfish, lionfish, shrimps and crabs hide inside the sponges. Near the beach the reef reaches about 10 m, and further out it goes down to about 17 m. Dense schools of yellow goatfish and parrotfish can block the view of the reef, while cobia and barracuda pass by. Stingrays, cuttlefish, coral cat sharks and bamboo sharks are seen often.
