Coral Anchors

Coral Anchors is one of those sites we always try to hit when we're in Brac. It’s a great easy dive, maxing out around 30m, and the name gives away the main attraction: two old anchors. One is right there at 24m, another slightly deeper at 27m, both half-buried in the reef, which gives them a real sense of history. What we really love about Coral Anchors, though, isn't just the iron. The reef here, a series of coral "knuckles" separated by stretches of sand, is incredibly pretty. You get some impressive colonies of Smooth Star Coral and massive starlets, especially when the light hits them just right – they almost shimmer. We've spent ages just watching the parrotfish, particularly the Dark Green ones, methodically munching away. It's also a fantastic spot for spotting smaller stuff. Keep your eyes peeled in the sand for stingrays, and we’ve even found a Sand Stargazer here a couple of times, which is always a treat. For a relaxed afternoon dive, maybe your last of the day, Coral Anchors is a reliable pick. It's a gentle drift if there’s any current, and it just always delivers a pleasant, unhurried experience.
