Halloween Reef

No reviews yetBahamas, San Salvador

This was the forth mooring and dive site on the Southern Bahamas itinerary for the Nekton Pilot (a live aboard dive boat), for a trip taken in late March 1998. Highly recommended. Halloween Reef is a series of reefs lined up with a sandy bottom in between them. The reefs end at a wall, which drops off sharply into water too deep for recreational diving. Access is by boat. Site has a mooring pin on top of the reef (as of March 1998)
