Reef
Twenty minutes from base, this site lies between Isla Colon and Isla San Cristobal, centred around marker #19 on the deep shipping channel. The sea floor crests towards the surface here, creating a circular reef with schools of snapper, many kinds of crab and other invertebrates living among large heads of lettuce coral ranging from 9 to 20m. Be mindful of the plentiful fire coral here, and try to safety-stop at the buoy – its frame and the many fallen girders close by are home to anemones, shrimp, and a large school of sergeant majors. The water here is the last to cloud up during rainy season in Bocas, making it a viable option for most of the year.
