    Mahaffy Reef offers a classic Astrolabe experience, a wall dive dropping into the blue. We've often found whitetip reef sharks patrolling the deeper sections, with healthy hard corals dominating the shallower reef crest. It's a solid choice for divers who appreciate consistent reef structure and the chance of pelagics without extreme currents.
