Capers Reef, marked by Coast Guard Buoy R8, is a drift dive along a low-relief coral reef. We’ve found decent hard coral formations here, with plenty of smaller reef fish darting between the crevices. It’s a good spot for a relaxed drift, particularly when the current is mild, suiting divers who enjoy a slow cruise over the reef rather than a high-octane pelagic encounter.
