We will then guide you to various points of interest within the coral reef complex which contains thousands of coral formations.  These coral formations are home to a wide variety of brightly-colored fish, marine reptiles, manta rays, crustaceans, eels, Murenas and more!  The water is only a few meters deep, so our guests all have a clear and close-up view of this spectacular ecosystem.
