Why dive here
With 229+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales and orcas - Middle Reef offers some of Antigua South Coast's richest reef diving. Water sits around 27°C.
Bedford Island Reef, near Québec, offers a look at freshwater coral. We’ve found a healthy community of soft corals here, which is pretty unusual for an inland site. It's a calmer dive, good for those wanting to explore something a little different from the usual ocean sites. Visibility can shift, but on a good day, it’s a peaceful spot for a closer inspection.
