Bache Shoal

Located in shallow water just south of Lewis Cut on the ocean side about a mile from the channel, this reef has 3 mooring buoys and ranges to depths of 20 feet. Unique because of fresh water springs mixing with the salt water. This site is a shallow patch type reef and has a good population of fish and lobsters. Nice for novice diving or for snorkeling. There is visible distortion in the water where the salt water mixes with fresh water springs. Be careful when approaching due to shallow depths in areas of 2-4 feet. Best to come in during high tide and approach from the ocean side of Elliott Key.

Notes: Mooring Buoys, Good Snorkeling
