Tormentos Reef

Tormentos Reef has a reputation, and for good reason. It’s one of those spots where you can drift along with a comfortable current, just taking it all in. We often drop in at the north end and let the flow carry us south, past impressive coral formations. Keep an eye on the sandy patches; we’ve had some fantastic encounters here. Nurse sharks are a common sight, often resting under ledges, and we’ve spotted turtles munching on sponges more times than we can count. The visibility is usually excellent, giving you clear views of the resident barracudas hovering mid-water. For those who like a leisurely drift and a good chance of seeing larger reef inhabitants, Tormentos is a top pick. It’s not a deep dive, maxing out around 18 metres, which means plenty of bottom time to explore. We’d suggest going in the morning; the light can be stunning through the water, especially when it catches the schools of bluestriped grunt.
