Noronqui Reef

Noronqui Reef is one of those spots that just sticks with you. We love diving a wall that starts shallow, maybe 5 metres, and drops gently to 20. It's an easy dive, perfect for getting back into things, and the coral coverage here is exceptional. We're talking huge stands of elkhorn and dense fields of finger coral, all healthy and bustling. Look closely and you’ll find little blennies like the sailfin and orange-spotted tucked into crevices, their tiny eyes watching you. The sheer volume of fish is impressive, too. Schools of grunt and snapper drift over the reef, and the demoiselles dart around with typical energy. We've often seen sheephead and butterbun cruising by, and if you’re patient, a reef scorpionfish blends perfectly with the corals. Our favourite part? The remote feeling. You often have Noronqui all to yourself, making for a peaceful dive, just the sound of your own bubbles and the gentle sway of the water. This site is a fantastic choice for those who appreciate healthy coral ecosystems and uncrowded, relaxed diving.
