The reef at Cockle Shell starts in five meters then slopes out of the bay where it reaches a maximum depth of 22m. In the deeper parts of the reef, bright soft coral and hard coral are scattered over a vertical landscape of rock and boulders. Large groupers are sometimes spotted in these waters. Around the corner, the sandy bottom slopes back up towards shallower waters where divers have been known to spot turtles, cuttlefish and even whale sharks!
