About this site

Eel Garden takes its name from the colony of garden eels that sway from a sandy plateau between two reef fingers, retreating into their burrows as divers approach. The site features a pretty coral wall, a sandy amphitheatre and good chances of seeing rays, flounder and the occasional turtle. It is an easy shore dive often combined with a drift back toward Lighthouse.
