Fisheries

Fisheries is one of those spots on Brac that just keeps giving, especially if you’re into the smaller, more elusive critters. We’ve always found it best to drop in and head west from the mooring, letting the mini wall guide you along. The reef crest, sitting around 9 metres, often has a gentle current pushing you, which makes for a nice drift. You’ll weave past sandy chutes, each one a potential hiding spot for a resting stingray, so keep an eye out there. The real showstopper here, though, is that big pillar coral. It’s a genuine landmark, reaching up from the 15-metre reef floor, absolutely covered in little blennies and sponges. We love to take our time here, circling it slowly, watching the Saddled Blennies dart in and out. This site is fantastic for macro photographers; we often spot Imitator Blennies and tiny Nodulose Miters tucked into crevices. While you’ll certainly see your share of Angelfish and Sharpnose Pufferfish, it’s the hunt for the Kwab or an Orangespotted Filefish that really makes Fisheries our pick. It’s a pretty mellow dive, generally good visibility, and perfect for anyone who enjoys a slower pace and wants to focus on the details.
