All about HP Reef dive site
HP Reef is a stunning dive site. It is also called Rainbow Reef, due to the variety of colors. The reef leads to a channel with multiple rock formations, blocks, boulders, ledges, rifts, and a cave. Strong currents provide food for schools of fish hanging around in a swim-through that leads to the top of a cave and is frequently called “the chimney”. All of the underwater structures are rich in various corals and other underwater plants, divers can examine.
What to see
At HP Reef, soft corals coexist with gorgonians and sea fans on the top of the reef. Divers can spot jacks, trevallies, rainbow runners, barracudas, tuna, and manta rays. Gray reef sharks are also seen occasionally.
