Middle Garden

Middle Garden is a large sheltered bay with a shallow hard coral wall that plateaus at around 10m. The corals transition into a 20m wide sandy road parallel to the coastline, fringed with larger hard boulder coral. This sandy road leads to a garden of hard coral that slopes down to about 70m at the drop off. The site is usually planned as a fixed mooring dive and is perfect for all levels of divers. Middle Garden is known for a variety of marine life, including stingrays, milkfish, trigger fish, moray eels, goatfish, banner fish, and butterfly fish. It is also a channel for big creatures such as Manta Rays and Whale Sharks. The site is very protected from the weather, making it ideal for first holiday dives or Discover SCUBA diving dives. The fringing reef drops down between 2-3 meters to a large sandy area dotted with small coral heads, providing a great space to spot bottom-dwellers like the blue spotted sting ray. The main reef runs the length of the bay and gently slopes into the blue, with several sandy 'roads' for easy navigation. Middle Garden offers a relaxing dive over the reef with the possibility of encountering turtles, whale sharks, or mantas.
