    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Amberjack Reef, tucked away in the Exuma Cays, is a solid Caribbean coral dive. It’s not going to blow your mind, but you'll find plenty of the usual suspects here – snapper, grouper, and yes, amberjack cruising through. This site is a good choice for a relaxed afternoon dive, suitable for divers who appreciate consistent reef activity without needing huge thrills.
