Randy's Gazebo

Also known as: The Chimney · The Chimneys · Randy's Gazebo (The Chimney)

The site takes both its names from two features: a vertical chimney that runs between about 40 ft on the reef top and about 75 ft on the wall, and the 'gazebo', a wide limestone arch east of the mooring that frames divers against the open blue. Operators describe a second, easier swim-through on the way back, which Reef Divers call the 'chicken run'. Huge barrel sponges line the wall west of the chimney, and white anemones, yellow tube sponges and soft corals decorate the arch. The wall top is a good place to look for seahorses, cleaner shrimp, feather stars and morays, and turtles, black durgons and eagle rays are regular sightings. Reef Divers dive it to a maximum of about 110 ft.
