    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Vicky's Reef offers a straightforward Caribbean coral dive off Long Island. You'll find the typical reef residents here: parrotfish grazing, angelfish darting through the coral heads. It's a relaxed site, good for knocking off the rust or for newer divers looking for a gentle introduction to Bahamian reefs. We often see it used for afternoon dives, perfect for winding down the day.
